Place: Guildford Magistrates Court
Offence: Speeding
Defence: Mitigation
Carl Millar was instructed by Mr E, who faced a disqualification period of up to 56 days for travelling at 108mph in a 70mph speed restriction area.
Mitigation was presented to the Court in an effort to try and persuade them to not disqualify at all and, instead, give Mr E penalty points. The Court were persuaded by the argument and imposed 6 penalty points instead of a driving ban. Mr E required his car to commute to the salon that he works, and also to convey his equipment with him. The court accepted the arguments put forward and Mr E was delighted that he was not disqualified.
