Specialist London Solicitors in Dangerous Driving cases
At MFI Law Limited we have the expertise in representing clients charged with Dangerous Driving. Our London Solicitors are available to represent clients at London Police Stations, Magistrates' and Crown Courts throughout the country.
Dangerous Driving is governed by Section 2 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 which states:
A person who drives a mechanically propelled vehicle dangerously on a road or other public place is guilty of an offence
The meaning of dangerous driving is when a person's standard of driving falls far below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver and it would be obvious to a competent and careful driver that driving in that way would be dangerous.
The following are examples of when a person could be driving dangerously:
- racing, going too fast, or driving aggressively;
- ignoring traffic lights, road signs or warnings from other passengers;
- overtaking in a very dangerous manner;
- driving under the influence of drink or drugs, including prescription drugs;
- driving when unfit, including having an injury, being unable to see clearly, not taking prescribed drugs, or being sleepy.
If you would like to challenge a driving offence at Court, or before it reaches Court, we highly recommend you speak to one of our solicitors and we are here to assist you.
