Appeal Driving Ban and the Law
Under the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, drivers convicted of motoring offences may face disqualification, either through totting up points, mandatory bans for serious offences, or court discretion. By law, an appeal may be made to the Crown Court against a Magistrates’ Court decision within 21 days of sentencing.
- Mandatory bans for offences such as drink driving, dangerous driving, or failing to provide a specimen.
- Totting up bans after accumulating 12 or more penalty points within three years.
- Discretionary bans imposed by the court due to aggravating factors.
- Committed the offence as alleged.
- Was properly notified of proceedings and had the chance to respond.
- Posed a risk to road safety justifying disqualification.
Agencies such as the CPS, DVLA and police traffic units may be involved. Evidence can include speed camera data, breath or blood test results, police statements and previous conviction records.
Our Motoring Offence Solicitors review the evidence, identify appeal grounds and prepare arguments focused on your circumstances.
