Dangerous Driving Client Acquitted

Kept Licence
Glasgow Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court

Our client was accused of racing two other vehicles at almost double the 50mph speed limit through road works and was prosecuted for a contravention of the Road Traffic Act 1988, Section 2 (as amended), commonly referred to as 'dangerous driving'.

Both our client, and another gentleman represented by another 'road traffic expert', were prosecuted and the case called for trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 14th October 2024 with our Mr Simpson in attendance.

Fortunately for our client, we spotted a technical line of defence and our Mr Simpson approached the Crown on the morning of the trial. The Procurator Fiscal Depute agreed with our 'technicality', and we advised our client that he was free to go. 

This is a prime example of having genuine expertise on your side.
