Dangerous Driving and the Law

Under section 2 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, a person is guilty of dangerous driving if they drive a mechanically propelled vehicle in a manner that falls far below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver.

  • Driving that endangers the public or property.
  • Operating a vehicle aggressively or without due attention.
  • Actions such as racing, ignoring traffic signs, or using a mobile device while driving.

  • Drove in a manner far below the expected standard.
  • Created an obvious risk of injury or damage.
  • Was aware (or should have been aware) of the danger caused.

Investigations are often led by the police, with CPS involvement where charges follow. Evidence may include CCTV, dashcam footage, witness statements, speed evidence, collision reports and expert analysis. 

Our Dangerous Driving Solicitors examine the evidence carefully, including road conditions, speed evidence, procedure and whether the legal threshold for Dangerous Driving is met.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dangerous Driving occurs when driving falls far below the standard of a competent and careful driver, and the danger would be obvious.

Our experienced motoring defence team provides comprehensive legal representation. From advising you during police investigations to building a strong defence for court, we work tirelessly to protect your licence, reputation and future.

If you are being investigated, seek legal advice immediately. Do not discuss the matter with anyone other than your solicitor and avoid making statements to police until you have received proper legal guidance.
