Hewitts has extensive experience of representing clients in court for all types of road traffic and motoring offences.

The consequences of being found guilty of road traffic offences can range from the minor to the extremely serious costing the motorist his licence and sometimes leading to loss of employment and financial hardship.

In many cases, however, experienced legal representation can reduce the penalties involved. Even the smallest charge can often involve complex issues of law.

If you are a 'totter' for example (i.e. amass 12 points on your licence), then you will usually lose your licence for at least six months.

However, if your solicitor can prove to the magistrates that this would cause you 'exceptional hardship', the magistrates do have the discretion not to disqualify you.
