Failing to Provide Driver Identity Information

We can help any drivers who have been summoned for failing to provide information as to the identity of the driver suspected of having committed a road traffic offence.

Regardless, we can advise you on how to respond to a request for information and offer you specialist legal representation.

Failing to Comply with Traffic Lights and Road Signals.

Traffic light offences are deemed a ‘strict liability’ offence, so you are guilty of the offence even if you unknowingly went through the red light or that it was not your intention to do so. Whether you received a Fixed Penalty Notice or your case have been referred to the Magistrates Court for consideration, we can help.
