DRINK/DRIVING

PENALTY POINTS
The totting up driving ban means that if you accumulate 12 points within a 3 year period, you will be facing a possible disqualification from driving. Any offences that carry penalty points are included in the totting up procedure.
The courts will listen to a plea of exceptional hardship. That means that if you would face exceptional hardship by being disqualified from driving, the court may allow you to continue driving even with 12 points or more.
With the unrivalled experience of Michael Levy, it may be possible to avoid disqualification.
