Like most of the UK’s major cities, Birmingham has its own share of motor accidents. If you’re involved in a collision or accused of dangerous driving, it can be extremely stressful.

With strict penalties levelled at drivers judged dangerous, it is crucial that you take legal advice immediately to protect yourself. Experts in road traffic offences, at Auriga Advocates we can provide practical guidance with your best interests in mind.

Understanding dangerous driving consequences

Dangerous drivers can face unlimited fines and driving bans. These driving offences carry a maximum penalty of two years in prison, and retaking driving tests is mandatory. The consequences of dangerous driving are impacted on a case-by-case basis. For instance, if someone else is harmed drivers face harsher penalties. Death due to dangerous driving can result in a life sentence.
