7-day Disqualification Instead of 6 month Starting Point Disqualification for Speeding Driver

This driver, represented by Millicent Dooher, was facing a 6-month disqualification having been convicted of 4 speeding offences. The client had accepted 2 speeding offences as fixed penalty notices, and two offences were before the Court. A discretionary disqualification was sought on the offences, to prevent the driver from ‘totting’ and incurring the mandatory 6-month disqualification. Millicent was able to convince the Magistrates to impose a disqualification of 7 days for each offence, to be concurrent. This meant the driver had a total of 7 days disqualification.
