Avoid a Driving Ban in Derby
If you have been charged with a motoring offence, you should firstly contact one of our specialist solicitors to establish whether you need legal representation for your case. In certain circumstances you may not require representation, if our lawyers form the opinion that you do not require a lawyer for your driving offence, they will inform you from the outset.
If you have a defence, our lawyers will inform you and will recommend that you plead not guilty. We would prepare your case for Trial and provide you with the best chance of being found Not Guilty.
In other circumstances, you may require a solicitor to represent you at Court for your Sentence Hearing to ‘Mitigate’ on your behalf. This is so that you receive the lowest sentence possible. Our lawyers frequently represent clients before Derby Magistrates’ Court. They have many years’ experience in convincing the Court to take into consideration personal mitigation, which can result in avoiding a Driving Ban.
If you already have 6 to 9 penalty points endorsed upon your driving licence and you are facing additional points for a further driving offence, our lawyers can be instructed to make a Special Reasons Argument or an Exceptional Hardship Argument in an attempt to avoid a Driving Ban.

Covering All Driving Offences Including Speeding
Speeding is the most common motoring offence committed throughout England and Wales. The first notification that you will receive is called a ‘Section 172 Notice’ requiring the registered keeper to inform the police of the identity of the person driving when a speed trap was triggered. It is crucial to obtain legal advice early in the process, as a conviction for Failing to Provide Driver Details attracts 6 penalty points.
The penalties that can be imposed for Speeding Offences occurring in Derby can range from penalty points or a driving ban of up to 56 days. If you already have points endorsed upon your driving licence, there is a risk that you could accumulate 12 or more points on your driving licence which will result in a Totting Up Ban of at least 6 months.
If you are unsure of how many active penalty points you have on your driving licence at present, you can check online by using the DVLA Website.

Proffesional and Sincere *****
My initial meeting with Manjinder himself, was undoubtedly professional and threw me under no false pretenses about what could and could not be achieved. I was represented by Mr Shoker, an associate of Mr Kang, who was both exceptionally competent and sincere. I am very grateful for Mr Shoker and Kang & Co’s assistance, and would recommend them for any relevant legal matters. Charlie
