We are expert of legal advice and exceptional hardship

Freeman Keep On Driving Ltd is a firm of Solicitors specialising exclusively in road traffic law. We are dedicated to advising and defending motorists, anywhere in England and Wales, for whom the loss of a driving licence could have devastating consequences. The firm aims not only to defend motoring prosecutions, but also to minimise the financial penalties and the periods of disqualification imposed.

There is not a statutory definition of exceptional hardship. Obviously everybody has their own reasons for not wanting to be disqualified but there is a significant difference between inconvenience or impracticability and exceptional hardship. Freeman Keep On Driving Ltd can represent you in any court in England and Wales at competitive rates, contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

We have worked with road traffic law since 1981, initially as a police prosecutor and thereafter as a defence lawyer. We have carefully selected and trained the Freeman Keep On Driving Ltd team, and we have confidence in the service they provide.

For hardship to be exceptional, it must be more than is normally suffered. It will be a question of fact to be judged by the Court on the evidence before them. The argument put forward must therefore be a strong one and stand up to interpretation and questions from the Court. The effect of any disqualification on others will also be seriously considered, e.g. family members, employees, etc. The burden of proof is on the defendant.

The prosecution must first of all prove that you have driven dangerously by showing that your driving has fallen far below the standard of the competent and careful driver and also that it was obvious to a competent careful driver that the manner in which you drove was dangerous, i.e. that there was a considerable risk of damage or injury.

If you are liable to a period of disqualification under what is referred to under the “totting up” provisions (i.e. twelve points or more) the Court must impose a minimum mandatory period of six months disqualification, unless it can be satisfied on the balance of probabilities that exceptional other than ordinary hardship exists.
