What to do if you're facing a driving ban

Fighting a driving ban on the grounds of exceptional hardship is the most common line of defence. Specialist solicitors in this area can also deploy certain strategies, providing the best chance of a positive outcome, for you and your family. We are experts in this area, we know the law and how to work within it to secure the result that you need.

In fact, it is thought that a third of drivers with twelve points or more (usually an automatic ban) are still on the roads. So, there is a lot of hope that the initial outlook won’t be terminal, especially if you would experience exceptional hardship as a result of any ban.

Even in the case of a successful outcome, you need to know that the points will still remain on your licence. Should you commit another offence within three years, you will be facing the same punishment. Furthermore, you cannot argue exceptional hardship for the same reasons during any subsequent defence.
