Exceptional Hardship Granted Following Mobile Telephone Offence

Barrister, Millicent Dooher, represented this driver following a mobile telephone offence. Any mobile telephone offence carries 6 penalty points. The Driver already had 6 penalty points on his licence. The further penalty points meant he became a ‘totter’.

Following submissions by Millicent, the Magistrates accepted that any disqualification would cause exceptional hardship. The Court did not impose any period of disqualification.
