Offense: Speeding / Totting Up penalty points on driving licence
Defence: Exceptional Hardship
Millars Solicitors represented Miss T before High Wycombe Magistrates Court.
Miss T had accumulated 12 penalty points on her driving licence and therefore faced the minimum period of disqualification of six months in accordance with the totting up provisions.
Miss T had extensive mitigation that was advanced by Millars Solicitors at Court. She is a single parent and was concerned that she would not be able to take her children to school, and she would also face the prospect of not earning an income and she would be unable to travel to work in the event of a driving disqualification.
The Court accepted the argument presented and Miss T was not disqualified from driving in the circumstances.
