Speeding Fines and Speeding Tickets

At YSG, our motoring solicitors understand just how serious the repercussions of being issued with speeding fines can be - if an offence results in a ban, it could also lead to a job loss and a drastic change of circumstances.

That's why it's advisable to seek legal advice from solicitors with years of experience successfully handling cases relating to speeding tickets and fines.

What Are the Consequences of Speeding?

If the prosecution is successful in proving its case, exceeding the speed limit is generally subject to speeding fines to a maximum of £1,000, unless the offence took place on a motorway, in which case the maximum speeding fine is £2,500.

In addition, at least three points will be added to your licence if you are found guilty of speeding.

If the offence is particularly serious - or you have built up 12 or more penalty points within a period of three years - a disqualification could follow.

Why Speak to YSG's Motoring Solicitors?

The prosecution needs to show that a driver (or the defendant) exceeded a speed limit. If it can prove this, the prosecution will be successful in securing a speeding conviction.

However, even if it appears that the prosecution has complied with all of their duties, a defence can still be raised. It may be that a complex point in expert evidence is raised or that an attendance at the scene in question will provide a defence to what appears to be a watertight case.

The defence raised by a driver is always a matter of taking careful instructions and closely scrutinising the prosecution evidence, something we at YSG Solicitors do in every case we take on.

We will also give careful consideration to the paperwork issued in the case to ensure that the prosecuting authorities have complied with the requirements to give a proper Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) and look at whether the warning is received within the prescribed period of the alleged offence.
