60mph in 30mph Limit Dangerous Driving 6 Points

Our client was caught travelling at 60mph in a 30mph on Airbles Road, Motherwell. The case was reported as dangerous driving and we were instructed to defend the charge. The case lasted for 18 months and was eventually dealt with by Hamilton Sheriff Court on 16th September 2020.

 Kept Licence!
