Road traffic and motoring offences

Talk to our expert road traffic solicitors in Sheffield, Leeds and York by calling  07971 520 407.

Motoring offences are a regular occurrence on roads in the UK and a conviction can have a huge impact on your life, depending on the seriousness of the offence. We can help to create a strong defence to any alleged road traffic offence. The early intervention in your case by an experienced road traffic offence solicitor can ensure that the ultimate outcome is the best possible for you.

Whether you have been stopped or contacted by the police, received a Single Justice Procedure Notice (SJPN), a summons or have been charged, the earlier you contact us, the earlier we can help you. We can also ensure that things are not said or done at an early stage, which will later prejudice your case.

At Lupton Fawcett, we can provide expert legal assistance and the highest quality representation to ensure you keep your driving licence, reduce any penalties and, ultimately, keep you on the road.

If you are facing motoring offence allegations, do not delay in contacting our experienced driving offence solicitors; fill in our online form and we will get back to you promptly. For immediate assistance, please call us on our 24/7 mobile number on 07971 520 407.

We can also advise you on how to avoid a six-month disqualification for accumulating 12 penalty points in a three-year period (known as totting up).

Whatever road traffic and motoring offences you are accused of committing, our solicitors will be able to help you.

As the police are not required to stop every driver suspected of committing a motoring offence, you may be made aware of allegations by a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP). This is a written warning that you are going to be facing a prosecution soon. It is therefore vital that if you receive one, you should get in touch with Lupton Fawcett defence team immediately.

The NIP must be sent to the driver or registered owner of a vehicle so that it is received within the normal course of post within 14 days of an alleged offence. If you did not receive your NIP within 14 days, please contact us as there is a good chance you may be able to avoid a fixed penalty or prosecution.

If you did receive the NIP on time, and you are requested to confirm driver details, you then have 28 days to reply and confirm who the driver was at the time of the alleged offence. Failure to comply can lead to additional penalties, including disqualification from driving, penalty points on your licence and a fine of £1,000 or more.

For advice on what to do upon receipt of an NIP and/or request for driver details, please get in touch with the Motoring Offences team.

Penalties, including points, a fine or a ban, can have serious effects on your life:
