Motoring Law Defence Solicitors - Manchester

Our solicitors are here to help you with all your motoring law needs. We specialise in two types of motoring law:

• Drink driving offences

If you have been caught behind the wheel of a car or found in charge of a vehicle with too much alcohol in your system (more than 35 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath) you will be charged with drink driving.

• Drug driving offences

Regardless of whether the drug is legal or not, driving under the influence of drugs is a criminal offence, as it affects your ability to drive safely.

The penalties for driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can vary, depending on the charges against you.

The penalties for drink driving can be anything from a 12 month disqualification up to 14 years’ imprisonment and common drink driving-related offences include:

• Being in charge of a vehicle whilst over the legal limit
• Driving or attempting to drive whilst over the legal limit
• Refusing to provide a specimen
• Death through careless driving whilst over the legal limit

If you are found guilty of driving with an illegal amount of drugs in your system, the courts are authorised to enforce the following penalties:

• A mandatory driving disqualification for at least 12 months
• A fine of up to £5,000
• A maximum six months' imprisonment, leaving you with a criminal record

At Draycott Browne, we understand how stressful it can be facing charges of motoring offences, especially if losing your licence will mean a loss of livelihood and independence. We are here to fight your corner and have a proven track record of successfully defending a range of motoring offences.

We can provide you with all the necessary guidance and advice on your case and the possible outcomes, as well as putting together an effective defence strategy to represent you in court. We have helped hundreds of clients avoid disqualification and many of our cases have been dropped by the prosecution without coming to trial.

By instructing Draycott Browne, you can be assured that you have a team of highly skilled legal professionals working on your behalf, who will take a robust and proactive approach to ensure the best possible outcome for your situation.

If you or a loved one has been arrested on motoring law charges, you should not hesitate to call us at the earliest possible opportunity. Our solicitors are on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ready to assist you at the police station after your arrest.

While at the station, our solicitors will advise you on what to say and liaise with the police on your behalf. It is our job to ensure you are treated fairly and that your rights are respected throughout your time in custody.

Arrests can be unexpected, and therefore you may not have the funds to pay for legal help. However, our service, at the police station, is free at the point of delivery, meaning we will provide our services to anyone in need of our help.

You may also be eligible to receive legal aid, helping you to pay any legal fees incurred. Our solicitors will guide you through the legal aid application process, ensuring you have the best possible chance of receiving the funds you need to get the highest level of legal representation.
