Our services
As road traffic law specialists, at Auriga Advocates, we provide representation for a variety of traffic offences. These include:
Totting up and exceptional hardship
If you are facing a driving ban after accumulating 12 penalty points or more, Auriga Advocates can advise you on the best course of action. Where appropriate, we can present an exceptional hardship argument which may help you to avoid disqualification due to ‘totting up’ rules.
Drink driving
You can receive free initial legal advice from Auriga Advocates on a range of drink driving cases.
We can help if allegations made against you are related to; failing to provide a Roadside Breath Test; being in charge of a vehicle under the influence of alcohol; or failing to provide a specimen at the police station or hospital.
In the UK, the government takes a zero-tolerance approach to drug driving. If you are accused of drug driving, you may be facing a mandatory ban, or even imprisonment.
Auriga Advocates will examine the legality of the stop, the accuracy of breath, urine or blood samples, and whether correct procedures were followed.
Careless driving
We defend charges of careless driving (driving without due care and attention), including death by careless driving.
Are you facing charges of causing serious injury by careless driving? Whether the circumstances involve poor road conditions or a momentary lapse, there is a high legal threshold required in these cases. We will ensure the prosecution can meet these requirements.
If you are faced with a dangerous driving offence, it can be an anxious and stressful time. Talk to the specialist dangerous driving team at Auriga Advocates, and you can benefit from free initial advice.
Been accused of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and don’t have experience in going through the court process? We will pass on our knowledge acquired in over two decades of working on serious road traffic cases.
Failure to provide a roadside breath test
If you have failed to stop and provide a roadside breath test, you may be pondering if you have a defence. At Auriga Advocates, we are hugely experienced in cases of this nature - also known as failure to provide a specimen.
Auriga Advocates also specialise in cases of failure to stop and report. This concerns cases such as being involved in an accident and failing to stop and exchange details with the driver of the other vehicle.
Failure to provide driver information or documents
If you are facing allegations of failure to provide driver information or failure to provide driving documents and have been issued with an S172 notice, you have 28 days to submit the information.
When in receipt of an S172 notice, Auriga Advocates can provide advice that may help you to avoid prosecution.
Speeding and mobile phone offences
We regularly defend speeding allegations, including those involving camera evidence, as well as offences relating to using a mobile phone whilst driving or not being in proper control of a vehicle.
