DRIVING WHILST DISQUALIFIED AND THE PENALTIES (BA10 CONVICTION)
Our Driving Whilst Disqualified Solicitors can help you if you’ve been issued a BA10 Conviction and want to challenge the charge.
Driving whilst disqualified is viewed by the courts as a serious driving offence, and its charge (penalty code BA10) can carry heavy punishments. You could be sentenced with further penalty points, a community order or even a lengthier ban and prison. The charge is also known as a strict liability offence as it requires no intent, meaning you can be convicted of driving whilst disqualified even if you were unaware that you were prohibited from driving a vehicle.
You may know that you have been driving whilst disqualified. However, there are many occasions where the court may have disqualified you in your absence, and you are unaware you have been committing a driving whilst disqualified offence.
On the other hand, if you dispute that you were the driver, it will be for the prosecution to establish proof of identification.
If you are facing prosecution for driving whilst disqualified, you may be unable to enter a not-guilty plea. However, by enlisting the services of a highly experienced and knowledgeable Driving Whilst Disqualified Solicitors, you will bolster your chances of receiving a lighter punishment.
For expert advice or representation for a dirving while banned offence, turn to Motoring Offences Solicitors for top-notch privately funded legal representation in Manchester and across the UK, boasting a 96% positive result rate.
With over 40 years of experience successfully contesting BA10 Convictions, we are specialists in our legal field.

Thanks so much 100% recommend to anyone looking for representation
Originally we were looking at a potential driving ban, a minimum sentence of community service, plus a fine and interviews with the traffic commissioner. On the day of the hearing the Crown Prosecution wanted all of the former, which would have meant the end of a driving career and the loss of livelihood.
On the eleventh hour and fifty nine minutes literally as we were walking into court, Brian managed to secure a deal with the prosecution which led the judge to serve up five points on the licence and a fine, all of the other charges were dropped.
Such a massive relief after nearly a year of worry and angst. If you need a solicitor that specialises in motoring offences Mr Koffman is the man you need, so ring him. I mean it ring him!
Thanks to Brains excellent representation, I won my case, keeping my licence and was rewarded £750 towards my costs.
Would highly recommend
Cheers
Nick
Excellent legal advice, excellent and professional customer service, outstanding legal representation. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending them to anyone who needs their services.
My sincere regards to the entire team at Brian Koffman&Co Solicitors
Both himself & his assistant were both very helpful and very reactive to both phone calls & email.
I had no prior experience of attending court, however Brian made me feel at ease as to what to expect.
The case in which I was involved, was quite complex, however his professionalism and attention to detail made sure I received the best possible outcome.
I would recommend him to others
Should you require assistance with a driving offence Brian is the person to hire.
Professional, meticulous, leaves nothing to chance.
Thank you Brian
Results from this would have been:
Banned from driving
Loss of job
Loss of house
Wedding cancelled
Honeymoon cancelled
The results would have ruined my life.
One email and meeting with Brian and all this was sorted. Completely stress free and both him and his assistant were amazing.
Couldn't rate them high enough
Thank you.
His knowledge is this area is amazing and the the advice he gave me put my mind at rest and made me hopeful that he could resolve the case without me receiving a ban.
Due to covid back log the case was very drawn out but the moment I heard from the courts, Brian was at the other end of the phone and he remembered my case every time, which shows a great personal touch. You wouldn’t get that with a large firm.
Brian managed to resolve the case with reduced points and I am extremely grateful for his help as a totting up ban would have been catastrophic for me.
He was brilliant during what has been a very stressful 8 months.
With a very frustrating case and my case management hearing date changing dates a number of times to my actual trail date changing dates a number of times, Brian was professional throughout and assured me throughout, it was clear from the start brains knowledge and professionalism was going to help me, after nearly three years of this case dragging out we finally got the trail date, and the outcome was outstanding, Brian is in the process of claiming some of my legal fees back which will also be a massive help for me, I couldent recommend Brian enough and would not hesitate to contact again if I needed to, thankyou brain.
Thank you Brian.
Brian decided that the best route to take would be to enter a plea of exceptional hardship. He explained everything clearly and guided me through the process whilst reducing the considerable stress I was under.
His efforts secured me the best possible outcome. Not only did I keep my licence, I also received the lowest possible fine.
I can't recommend Brian highly enough and would urge anyone in similar circumstances to contact Brian Koffman & Co Solicitors without hesitation.
Thank you Brian.
It was my first experience of having a penalty of this nature and was looking to instruct a solicitor to gain some advice on the best steps.
He was incredibly blunt and rude. He compared my enquiry to the likes of a doctor seeing a patient with no knowledge of the symptoms? Despite me being on the phone to answer any questions regarding the offence in question.
Completely bizarre and rude, with him then hanging up on me.
He is such a brilliant lawyer. He made me win the case. He is very professional, honest and an experience lawyer. I do highly recommend him. I’m giving him 5 stars. Thanks a lot.
In recent months Mr. Koffman has dealt with everything associated with my Fathers case from phonecalls to documentation ect.
Upon first meeting Mr. Koffman explained in detail what repercussions my Father could face as a result of his driving offences, following our understand Mr. Koffman immediately turned his attention to how he could help.
With afew meetings and several telephone calls a decision was made on how to proceed, following this Mr. Koffman travelled to us in order to attend court & won our case!
I cannot recommend him enough, everything was done to perfection and no stone was left unturned.
5* absolutely.
If ever you have a motoring issue Mr. Koffman is the man to see.
We have already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so.
Thank you again Mr. Koffman
He got me the outcome I requested and I couldn't recommend him or his services highly enough. I chose him from his excellent google reviews just like this one, and now can see why he is so highly regarded!
Thanks again Brian.
Hopefully, I never need to use you again, but if I do, you will definitely be the solicitor I use.
Thank you again for helping me.
Brian, thank you once again for all your hard work which in turn gave us the best possible outcome.

HOW CAN OUR DRIVING WHILST DISQUALIFIED SOLICITORS HELP?
We are highly experienced in defending drivers charged with driving whilst disqualified and have secured the best possible outcomes for clients. Through contacting a knowledgeable member of our legal team for a free consultation, we will provide you with sound advice on the best course of action to take. Our Driving Whilst Disqualified Solicitors will thoroughly check all the evidence against you and help with mitigation in building your defence to minimise the sentence handed to you.
Whilst it is possible to receive six points for this offence, it is more common for courts to sentence disqualified drivers to an extended period of disqualification. The court would want acceptable reasons why they should not extend the disqualification. Through instructing a specialist motoring offence solicitor, your chances of receiving an extended ban will greatly diminish.
WHAT IS A DRIVING WHILST DISQUALIFIED OFFENCE?
If you operate a motor vehicle on a road or public area whilst already disqualified from holding a licence, you are committing the offence of driving whilst disqualified. You can find the relevant guidelines surrounding the law regarding driving whilst disqualified in Section 103 of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
If you have received a driving disqualification imposed by the court, you cannot drive until the disqualification period has ended. You may also be required to pass an extended retest before driving again.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IM ARRESTED FOR DRIVING WHISLT DISQUALIFIED?
If the police arrest you for driving whilst disqualified, they will take you to the police station and record your details. Before you answer any questions, it is crucial to seek legal advice, so you do not make your situation worse—you have the right to police representation, which is free of charge.
You may then be released and summoned to a Magistrates’ Court. In more serious cases, you may be detained in police custody until the court date. Driving whilst disqualified is a serious offence, so we advise against representing yourself in court. An expert motoring offence specialist can help build a case in your defence, pleading for leniency on your behalf.
WHAT IS THE PENALTY FOR DRIVING WHILST DISQUALIFIED?
Driving whilst disqualified is a serious offence—if you are convicted, you will likely receive a community penalty, which can include unpaid work, probation appointments and curfew. You may face imprisonment for up to six months for more serious cases. The court can impose additional disqualifications depending on the severity of the offence.
Depending on the circumstances surrounding the offence, the penalty can vary; there can be an increase in the severity of the penalty due to aggravating features, including how soon you drove after the disqualification, previous convictions and the manner of driving.
