Speeding Solicitors
Speeding offences are among the most common breaches of motoring law in the UK. Receiving a speeding ticket can initially seem like a minor inconvenience, but it may lead to a speeding fine, points on your driving licence, or even disqualification if circumstances warrant it. Understanding your legal rights, how to challenge a ticket, and when to seek professional advice can be crucial for achieving the best possible outcome.

What counts as a speeding offence under UK law?
- Exceeding the posted limit: Driving above the speed limit shown on road signs or electronically managed motorway systems.
- Variable speed limits: Certain roads, especially motorways, have limits that adjust based on traffic or weather conditions.
- Camera detection: Many speeding offences are identified by speed cameras, which automatically issue a speeding ticket if the recorded speed is above the legal limit.
- Police checks: Officers may use handheld laser devices or mobile patrols to catch drivers exceeding speed restrictions.
- Penalty points and fines: A speeding fine can vary in size, but it often comes with 3–6 penalty points. More serious cases can result in higher penalties or even a driving ban.
How can a solicitor help with speeding offences, and what does it cost?
A motoring solicitor can:
- Review evidence: Checking if the proper procedures were followed, including speed camera calibration and the validity of any police speed checks.
- Argue mitigating factors: Presenting reasons to reduce your speeding fine or penalty points, such as an emergency situation.
- Represent you in court: If you decide to contest the speeding ticket or face disqualification, a solicitor can advocate on your behalf and aim for a more favourable resolution.
Costs depend on case complexity and whether you plead guilty or not guilty. Many solicitors charge £100–£300 per hour, though some offer fixed fees for straightforward speeding offences. An initial consultation—often discounted or free—lets you discuss your case, explore possible defences, and estimate the overall cost before deciding how best to proceed.
