Two Speeding Offences One Set of Points!

Laura Newton represented a driver facing prosecution in the Magistrates’ Court for two separate speeding offences on the same day. She had 6 points already on her licence and would have been subject to a 6 month ban under the totting up rules. However, at Court, despite objection from the prosecution, Laura successfully argued that the offences should be sentenced with a single set of points because of the time and location of the offences. Our client was ultimately sentenced to just 3 penalty points and a fine.
