Totting up 12 Points

Where a person reaches 12 penalty points they will be eligible for disqualification from driving under the ‘totting’ provisions. This usually means that the driver will be banned from driving for a minimum period of 6 months. This is known as a ‘totting’ up driving disqualification.

If you find yourself in this position, #1 Motoring Solicitors can advise and represent you inrespect of an Exceptional Hardship Argument. If Exceptional Hardship is accepted by the court, it will ensure that the driver either:

Avoids the mandatory 6 months disqualification from driving
The 6 month disqualification period is reduced to a lesser period. #1 Motoring Solicitors have been successful in countless applications to the Court to find

Exceptional Hardship. This has resulted in our clients avoiding disqualification or alternatively being disqualified for a shorter period than the 6 month mandatory disqualification from driving.

I am writing to thank you for all your hard work that helped restore my good name and character. Your advice and presentation of the evidence inspired my wife and I with confidence – without your expertise I doubt I would have been able to have a positive decision in my favour.

Mr S, Pontypridd

It is our pleasure to thoroughly recommend Jonathan Wilkins, who did more than his best to ensure justice was done in a difficult case that could have gone either way. My Husband was found Not Guilty of not co-operating with the Police in a breathalyser incident, notoriously difficult to defend. It was due to Mr Wilkins’ intellect, experience and judgement that brought a successful outcome. We are both very grateful to him and thoroughly recommend him as the best Solicitor.

Mrs S, Swansea

An amazing result! Thank you so much for all your hard work over the last year or so. Your efforts have been very much appreciated by us both.

Mr H, Bristol

Thank you very very much for your help in what was a very difficult situation. Your kindness and professionalism helped us both immensely.

Mr G, Vale of Glamorgan

Jonathan Wilkins was recommended to me as an expert in defending drink drive cases – I had been charged with an offence of drink driving. I had signed the police officer’s note book confirming that I had driven the car whilst intoxicated. It was very important that I received expert advice as if I was convicted of drink driving I would have lost my licence and lost my job.

Jonathan successfully argued that the police officer’s notebook and my signed admissions were inadmissible evidence having obtained both expert evidence and medical evidence which was presented to the Court. Through his hard work and expertise in motoring law, I saved my driving licence. This meant that I kept my job of 20 plus years. I would highly recommend Jonathan, his team of lawyers and support staff to anyone who faces prosecution for a motoring offence and wants to save their driving licence.
