Dangerous driving is a serious offence. To establish the elements of the crime, it must be proven that you were driving in a manner that significantly deviates from the expected standard of a reasonable, skilled, and cautious driver.
Individuals accused of dangerous driving typically have their cases heard in the Crown Court. If found guilty, a mandatory driving disqualification will be enforced, and you will be required to take an extended retest.
It is common for those convicted of dangerous driving to receive prison sentences. Our assistance can help you present your case in a manner that reduces the likelihood of receiving such a sentence.
Many people nowadays are being charged with this offence as they often don’t realise they have been disqualified, as more frequently people are being disqualified in their absence by courts.
Driving whilst disqualified is viewed very seriously by the courts. You can be further disqualified from driving and sent to prison if you are found guilty. We can help to avoid this and obtain a more favourable outcome on your behalf.
