Road Traffic Law
What is Road Traffic Law?
To most people, having a driving licence is essential for their lives. If they were to lose it they be deprived of their livelihood.

We here at Liverpool solicitors know the value of your driving licence and if you are at risk of losing it we will fight your case in order to increase your chances of help keeping your licence.
Liverpool solicitors are also equipped with the expertise to defend you in relation to more serious offences such as dangerous driving, leaving the scene of an accident, driving without insurance and careless driving.
Basics of Road Traffic law
Liverpool solicitors appreciate how easy it is to unconsciously breach road traffic laws.
We have dealt with thousands of traffic law cases and are most familiar dealing with the following.
Speeding Fines – This is one of the most common breaches of Road Traffic regulations. In this scenario the prosecutor must prove beyond reasonable doubt that you were speeding. Not that you have to prove you are innocent.
Drink Diving – This is a very common offence but brings with it serious consequences. If you are found guilty you could face a 12 month ban and possible prison sentence if you are found to be seriously over the limit. There are however a number of defences you can put forward to avoid this from happening.
Speed Cameras – the Prosecution need to prove that you were behind the wheel of the car at the time of the offence. Not that you have to prove you are innocent. We can assist in helping you put forward your defence.
Driving Offences – The three main driving offences are driving without due care and attention, dangerous driving and causing death by careless/dangerous driving. Should you be prosecuted for any of these offences contact us to see how we can assist you.
