No Insurance Dropped at Court – Driver Avoids Disqualification for Careless Driving Allowing Driver to Stay in Employment.

Laura Newton represented a driver facing prosecution for driving without insurance and careless driving, including allegations travelling at 80mph in 50mph area and cutting into a line of traffic. Careless driving usually carries a disqualification or up to 9 points. At the hearing, a detailed pre court conference took place. The No Insurance offence was withdrawn avoiding conviction and penalty points for that offence.

The driver pleaded guilty to the offence of careless driving and his mitigation was presented in full. He was able avoid a disqualification and only 6 points were imposed on his licence. This ensured he could continue working and came as a huge relief.
