The Legal Aid Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 came into force on the 12 March 2015. Motoring offences are the subject of a number of grades of fines depending upon the gravity of the offence in question.

With the introduction of new fines for speeding offences on April 24th 2017, the risks are greater than ever if you are convicted of driving at substantially more than the speed limit for the relevant road.

With the forthcoming changes to legislation regarding using a mobile phone while driving, a controversial loophole will be closed and the risk of prosecution will increase significantly.
