Penalty points and disqualification

Many motoring offences carry penalty points. A driver who reaches 12 or more points within three years faces disqualification under the totting up rules. Drivers within two years of passing their test lose their licence if they reach six points.

Some offences, including drink driving, carry a disqualification on conviction regardless of the points already on a licence.

Exceptional hardship and special reasons

If a disqualification would cause exceptional hardship, to you or to people who depend on you, the court can be asked not to disqualify or to shorten the ban.

A special reasons argument is different: it asks the court not to endorse a licence or disqualify because of circumstances connected with the offence itself. Both need careful preparation and supporting evidence.

Fixed fees

Fixed fees are available for some motoring matters, including guilty pleas to drink driving and exceptional hardship hearings. Full details are on our motoring offence pricing page.
