Totting Ban Successfully Appealed on “Other Circumstances” Resulting in no Disqualification

Millicent Dooher, barrister, represented this driver at their Crown Court appeal following a 6-month disqualification for totting. The driver did not have strong exceptional hardship, but did have ‘other circumstances’ he felt were sufficient to mean no period of disqualification ought to be imposed.

The Court accepted these submissions, granted the appeal and imposed no period of disqualification.

If you have received a totting disqualification, it is always worth checking all of the options, especially where you may not have a strong exceptional hardship application.
