Road Traffic and Driving Offences

Need a driving offence solicitor?


As a driver your licence is very important. Even the shortest disqualification could have a significant effect on someone’s income, employment or family home. We at Richard Haswell Solicitors in Newcastle upon Tyne have been representing client’s charged with road traffic offences since the company began in 1997. 

When someone accumulates 12 penalty points on their driving licence, they fall foul of a mandatory minimum 6 month disqualification, also known as ‘totting up’. Legal representation is key in these types of matters and we have vast experience when it comes to successfully running exceptional hardship arguments. This will allow you to continue to drive whilst you have 12 penalty points or more.

In addition - for certain road traffic offences - special reasons can be advanced for your driving licence not to be endorsed. 

If you are due to appear before the magistrates' court for any type of road traffic matter, please do not hesitate to contact us. We cover the North East England area.
