Careless, Dangerous & Fatal Driving
Careless Driving Offences (Driving without Due Care & Attention)
Cases of this type cover a broad range of seriousness and this is reflected by the range of penalty points available - 3 points for the least serious case rising to 9, reserved for the most serious. The implications, therefore, can be far-reaching in terms of a discretionary or a 'totting-up' disqualification and it is important that you seek advice and representation; in a lot of cases of this type we are able to attend court on your behalf and your attendance can be dispensed with.
Dangerous Driving Offences (Death by Dangerous Driving)
This is a very serious driving offence which frequently attracts a custodial sentence and an inevitable mandatory disqualification from driving (with an added requirement that the offender takes a re-test before being allowed to drive again); the evidential distinction, however, between this offence and the lesser offence of careless driving is one of degree and it is therefore critical that you seek specialist advice and expert representation in cases of this type.
Fatal injury cases
Understandably, cases where death results are the most serious and are dealt with at the Crown Court but in cases where either careless or dangerous driving is alleged to have been the cause the prosecution must prove that assertion beyond reasonable doubt; we have long experience in dealing with cases of this type, mounting robust evidential challenges and relying upon experienced, specialist Road Accident Investigators where appropriate.
