Driver escapes disqualification with successful exceptional hardship application following 5 speeding offences

Millicent Dooher represented this driver before the Courts following a number of speeding offences. The Driver accrued an additional speeding offence during the Court process. Millicent was able to consolidate the offences, so that all were considered at a single hearing.

At the exceptional hardship application hearing, Millicent was able to convince the Magistrates to impose no period of disqualification, despite 15 penalty points being endorsed on the driver’s licence.

If speeding offences occur during the court process, and the offences are not consolidated, you run the risk of an exceptional hardship being granted on the first offence, the same arguments cannot be used again in 3 years, and by the time the second offence comes through, you will be facing another totting disqualification!
