Other Driving Offences

Q: How much is a solicitor for a driving offence?

Our fees differ depending on which of our experts you work with, the seniority of the lawyer, and the complexity of your case. Our lowest hourly rate is £280, and our highest hourly rate is £725. Find out more about our prices .

Q: If my first application for an early removal of a driving ban is unsuccessful, can I reapply?

Yes, you can make another application to get your disqualification reduced if your first one isn’t successful. However, you can only make another application after three months of the last one being rejected.

Driving offences aren’t limited to just drink driving and speeding. There are many other offences that you may not even be aware of until you suddenly find yourself charged with them.

Certain cases can be resolved without needing to go to court, such as speeding.
