What issues can you face with a drink driving charge?
As well as a criminal prosecution, a fine and a possible driving ban, you’re also likely to experience other issues, such as:
- Increased insurance premiums
- An 11-year endorsement on your driving licence
- Your employer will see the conviction on your licence if you have a driving job
- Potential problems travelling to other countries
Responsible drinking and driving
We do not condone or promote drinking and driving – it can cause you and/or others to be seriously injured and will likely land you a day in a Magistrates Court. However, we do believe everyone deserves the right to legal representation in court.
It is extremely dangerous driving while under the influence of alcohol, but whatever your charge, we’re here to offer our services.
At M.A.J. Law, our team of professional drink driving solicitors in Barnet are waiting to discuss your options with you – free of charge.
Before we get started on your case, it’s important you know that you can still win in court even if you were over the legal alcohol limit. Several technical defences can be applied in a drink driving case, whether it’s related to the roadside arrest, the police procedure or the prosecution disclosure.
If mistakes have been made at any stage of the process, you shouldn’t be convicted.
Also, we are entitled to negotiate lesser charges when appropriate. We often secure ‘plea deals’ with the Criminal Prosecution Service (CPS) to ensure our clients can avoid a driving ban – but we cannot promise anything other than giving you our very best service.
