Fail to Identify Driver Charges Withdrawn Without Driver Having to Attend Court

Laura Newton represented a driver, facing allegations of Failing to Identify a Driver and Speeding. Our client experienced difficulties in responding to the Notice of Intended Prosecution, and although he accepted being the driver, he had not confirmed this to the Police. It was unlikely that his difficulties would have given him a defence at trial, but we were able to negotiate an agreement with the prosecutor to prevent this. Our client pleaded guilty to the speeding offence and was sentenced to 3 points. The prosecutor agreed to withdraw the charge of Failure to Identify a Driver, which would have resulted in 6 points on his licence. This matter was handled under a fixed fee, and our client did not have to attend Court. He was relieved with the outcome, which had protected his licence.
