Driver Caught at 98mph in a 40mph Limit Keeps Licence
We recently acted for a driver who pleaded guilty to speeding at 98mph in a 40mph limit. At this speed, the court would usually impose a ban, possibly in excess of 46 days.
Solicitor Lucy Whitaker explained the circumstances to the court, and having heard representations, the court was minded to take the exceptional step of imposing 6 penalty points. This allowed the driver to keep his licence and continue running his business.
While we cannot guarantee the outcome of a case like this, we will always strive to achieve the best possible result. We can significantly improve your chances of success by preparing your case thoroughly and presenting it in a persuasive manner. The ultimate decision lies with the court, but we will do our best to ensure the court understands the relevant facts and law.

I’m Lucy Whitaker, a specialist driving offence solicitor based in Nottingham. My team and I really know our stuff when it comes to motoring offences.
I have gained recognition for my technical ability and understanding of complex areas of driving offence law.
Since 2008, I have worked exclusively as a driving offence lawyer. I set up Pragma Law in 2014 after 8 years working for another law firm. I now work only for private defendants charged with driving offences, but I have also prosecuted cases in the criminal courts in the past. I believe that having experience in both prosecuting and defending has made me a better solicitor and advocate, and I will use my knowledge to your advantage.
