About Speeding Offences
Endorsement of penalty points on your licence remain for four years. For more serious offences they can stay up to 11 years.
The usual penalty is a £1000 fine and 3 penalty points. You may be offered a speed awareness course if you have not been previously offered one and are within the bracket for it to be offered. You can only attend one course in a 3 year period.
More serious speeding offences where the accused is significantly over the speed limit can result in 7-56 day discretionary disqualification as well as potential custodial sentences.
How we can assist:
Our solicitors have represented clients ranging from minor speed offences to more serious excessive speeding offences attracting a custodial sentence. Our solicitors have successfully defended clients who have been charged with serious speeding offences where it has been challenged that the police officers who secured the evidence against the client did not follow specific protocols in reference to the equipment used. Our solicitors are always keen to discuss and explore the defences available to you and are not afraid to vigorously challenge the evidence to find weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
Our solicitors have also defended clients who have been charged with serious speeding offences and mitigated on their behalf to reduce the length of a ban. In some cases our detailed and tailored mitigation in respect of “special reasons” has allowed our client to avoid a ban.
If you are facing allegations of speeding, or have been charged to Court (received summons to Court), call us today to discuss and explore your defence.
Real Results for Real People
Brilliant result
Mr Masood has represented me for a number of years. Whenever I have been caught in a difficult position before the Magistrates Court, with his attention to detail and expert advocacy he always gets me a brilliant result.

Brings "A" Game
Honest, learned and experienced solicitor. Mr Masood always brings his A Game to the police station and Court. He is never afraid to challenge the police and the evidence. I would never speak to the police without Mr Masood by my side.
Extremely grateful
Mr Masood represented me for a matter of drug driving. Unfortunately this was the second time I had been charged with this offence and due to my previous convictions I faced the real prospect of a custodial sentence. Mr Masood was able to expertly mitigate on my behalf, expressing my personal circumstances and persuaded the Court to suspend my sentence. I am extremely grateful for his efforts.
– MrR
Professional standards
I was arrested and wrongly accused of assaulting the police. At my police station interview, Mr Masood challenged the evidence provided by the police and escalated the matter to professional standards. I was released with no further action with the arresting officer referred to professional standards for the way I was treated.

Unparalleled dedication and empathy
Represented throughout the most difficult period of my life facing an allegation of Rape in the Crown Court. Tenacity and eye for detail through a challenging process led to my acquittal. I can finally move on with my life. Wishing the team nothing but the best.
