Driving without due care and attention otherwise known as careless driving is committed where a driver does not exercise a degree of care and attention that a reasonable competent and prudent driver would exercise in the circumstances. Such offences can often occur as a result of an accident or a serious road traffic accident.
The legal definition of driving without due care and attention is “driving a motor vehicle on a road in a manner that falls below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver”. Demonstrating to the Court that you were exercising the relevant level of care and skill can involve expert witness evidence and is usually a factual dispute which requires careful cross examination of witnesses at Trial.
You may face a fine, disqualification and will certainly have points added to your licence if you are convicted.
Dangerous driving is a more serious charge. The penalties for dangerous driving in the Magistrates Court are a fine of up to £5,000.00 and up to 6 months imprisonment. In the Crown Court drivers face the prospect of an unlimited fine and up to 2 years’ imprisonment if found guilty.
In both Courts drivers will usually face a disqualification for driving for a minimum of a year and the Court could order that you re-take your driving test.
If you are arrested for dangerous driving you will most likely have to attend a Police interview. You have the right to legal advice before and during the interview. If you find yourself in this position it is important that you contact us as soon as possible.
Death by dangerous driving is a very serious charge and a conviction carries with it the possibility of a severe penalty – up to 14 years’ imprisonment.

This is now one of the most common offences on which we offer advice and representation. While this may seem a straight forward offence, in reality it has many shades of grey. The key question is what constitutes “use” of a mobile phone. This may be difficult to prove in a great many cases.
