Common instances of dangerous driving include competitive driving on public roads, driving at speeds beyond legal limits, driving while being distracted by a smartphone and driving your vehicle when you’re aware it has a dangerous mechanical fault.

What are the legal consequences of dangerous driving?

Dangerous driving is a considered a serious motoring offence. This is because it can result in the injury of others and can even prove fatal. Strict laws govern dangerous driving, and penalties are selected on a scale that includes mandatory disqualification with an extended re-test, unlimited fines and a term of up to 14 years if a driver causes death of another. As a result, it’s critical if you face an allegation of dangerous driving that you call a qualified solicitor.
