Special Reasons

For some offences, including drink driving the court has to disqualify you unless there are special reasons not to.

There are 3 main special reasons for drink driving -

Emergency -

If you can show that you had no choice but to drive then the court will let you keep your licence even though you were over the limit and guilty of drink driving.

Shortness of distance driven.

The court will allow you to keep your licence if you can show that you only drove a very short distance.

Spiked drinks.

There is where we established our reputation as expert motoring lawyers. We use a strategy that most other solcitors, even motoring solicitors, don’t use. As a result we have a success rate of over 94%. If you believe that someone bought you an alocoholic drink when you asked for a non alcoholic drink or there was more alcohol in the drink then you may be able to keep your licence even if you were over the limit.

Recent examples we have had are -

A wife wanted to cheer her husband up and kept adding vodka to his cans of cider, they argued and he drove off.

A friend bought a round of drinks and gave the driver the vodka and coke instead of coke accidently.

A friend was topping the drivers glass of wine up every time he went to play pool, he thought he had had just one glass of wine and didn’t realise it kept being topped up.

Knowing that her friend wasn’t driving she gave him doubles instead of singles as a thank you for helping her move. He later had to drive and only found out after he had had twice as much to drink.
