Our Criminal law team have made a successful application at the Sheffield Magistrates Court, resulting in a driver avoiding disqualification.
Â
A recent speeding offence would have meant the driver would have reached 12 points and hence be subject to a disqualification under the totting up of points rule.
Â
Pleading his case the team explained to the court that the drivers own business, which he had built over 12 years, relied on his ability to be able to drive.
Â
The application was successful on the grounds that the loss of his licence would cause exceptional hardship to his family.
