Dangerous Driving

dangerous-driving

Dangerous driving is considered a serious offence and is one of few driving charges which may be tried in the magistrates or crown court. The offence can also carry large penalties including extensive disqualification periods subject to an extended re-test, possible community penalty or imprisonment. The cases are usually fact based and may require the intervention of witnesses as well as experts and the police. A qualified and experienced professional driving solicitor can help you prepare a watertight defence and to ensure fair sentencing.

The Offence

The offence of dangerous driving is if the standard of your driving was found to fall far below that of a competent and safe driver. Various different actions can lead to this offence being charged and as well as driving standards, the police may also prosecute for the poor condition of the car. If you are found to have been talking on your mobile phone, driving on the pavement, or blatantly and dangerously ignoring road traffic signs, then dangerous driving is the offence that you are most likely to be charged with.

Other Forms Of Dangerous Driving

Competitive driving and dangerous overtaking may also be considered dangerous driving but so too is driving a car that is in a dangerous condition. For example, if you drive a car that has no brakes or seriously defective brakes then you may find that you are being charged with dangerous driving and that you face a serious penalty as a result of this.

Defending Your Case

Depending on the reason for dangerous driving charges there may be evidence to support you. If your car was said to be in dangerous condition but it was not obvious to an average driver then this could prove to be an invaluable defence tactic. It can also be argued that your driving did not fall far below a competent level.
