What type of punishment can you expect for drink driving charges?

UK motoring law dictates that drink driving offences result in a mandatory disqualification from driving –between one and three years – but this can be extended depending on the seriousness of the crime.

Depending on the level of the offence, the court will usually impose a financial penalty, community service, or even a prison sentence.

You are likely to serve time in prison if:

  • There is evidence of dangerous driving
  • You have similar previous convictions
  • You’re charged with multiple offences
  • You failed to provide a specimen at the police station
  • The level of alcohol was high

What other issues can you face with drink driving charges?

As well as a criminal conviction and driving ban, you’re likely to experience several other issues, including:

  • An 11-year endorsement on your driving licence that shows up on searches of your name
  • Increased insurance premiums
  • Potential problems travelling to other countries
  • Your employer will know about the conviction if you have a driving job

Do you need drink driving solicitors?

Yes, you need professional legal representation to give you the best chance of achieving a not-guilty verdict. Our team of solicitors have handled hundreds of motoring offence cases, so we understand the ins and outs of the drink driving laws in the UK.

We also know the different types of loopholes we could use to your advantage.

What to expect from your solicitors

Your drink driving solicitors will examine every detail of your case – however small.

From the moment you were pulled over to the way your roadside test was handled and how the police conducted themselves – we’ll look at everything.

If it’s found that the police have failed in any of their processes, you can escape punishment from the court.

In terms of your day in court, we’ll present your case to the judge with the best defence possible. We have exceptional experience in the courtroom, so we can confidently argue motions and navigate complex legal procedures on your behalf.

We will work as hard as possible to give you the best chance possible of receiving a not-guilty verdict.

What can we help you with?

  • I have been charged with drink driving. What will happen now?

    Don’t panic! We will prepare your case for court, obtain the evidence and explain your options in detail. You may have a defence without realising and could be found not-guilty.

  • I was over the limit in charge of a vehicle. Am I facing a ban?

    Not always. This offence can carry 10 penalty points. We may even be able to defend the charge if you were not going to drive whilst over the legal limit. Please get in touch and we’ll explain the process.

  • I failed to provide a specimen for analysis. What do I do?

    Failing to provide is often treated more seriously than drink driving and can carry an immediate custodial sentence. It’s important to understand the reason why you failed and whether this is a defence.
