Motoring and driving offences
At Flint Bishop, our Driving Offence Solicitors provide clear, practical advice from the earliest stage. We can help if you have been stopped by the police, received a Notice of Intended Prosecution, been asked to identify a driver, received a Single Justice Procedure Notice, or been charged with a road traffic offence.
We understand that points, fines or disqualification can have a serious impact on your life and livelihood. Our Driving Offence Solicitors will explain the process in plain English, help you avoid unnecessary mistakes and prepare your case carefully, whether the matter involves speeding, a fixed penalty, a disputed allegation, insurance concerns or a hearing where exceptional hardship may need to be argued.
With teams of Driving Offence Solicitors in Birmingham, Derby, Leeds, Sheffield, Swansea and York, Flint Bishop supports drivers across England and Wales. Our motoring team is part of our wider criminal defence and regulatory practice, giving you access to experienced lawyers who understand how to respond when the consequences feel urgent.
Whether you have just received a notice, need advice before replying to the police, or require representation at court, our Driving Offence Solicitors will act quickly and explain the next step clearly. Contact Flint Bishop today to understand your options.
As the police are not required to stop every driver suspected of committing a motoring offence, you may be made aware of allegations by a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP). This is a written warning that you are going to be facing a prosecution soon. It is therefore vital that if you receive one, you should get in touch with Flint Bishop defence team immediately.
The NIP must be sent to the driver or registered owner of a vehicle so that it is received within the normal course of post within 14 days of an alleged offence. If you did not receive this within 14 days, please contact us as you may be able to avoid prosecution.
If you did receive the NIP on time, and you are requested to confirm driver details, you then have 28 days to reply and confirm who the driver was at the time of the alleged offence. Failure to comply can lead to additional penalties, including disqualification from driving, penalty points on your licence and a fine of £1,000 or more.
For advice on what to do upon receipt of an NIP/request for driver details, please get in touch with us.
