Hojol Uddin, Charles Stansfield, and Jack Pittam represented Mr P who was at risk of disqualification for exceeding the speed limit under “totting up” provisions. The client had previously received endorsements for penalty points on several occasions. Receiving this additional offence placed him at risk of a minimum 6-month disqualification.

Mr P entered a guilty plea to obtain maximum credit for the sentence imposed against him. Strong mitigation was prepared in order to advance an application for exceptional hardship to avoid the minimum totting up disqualification.

After hearing the representations made the Court were found that there was exceptional hardship, and therefore Mr P was not disqualified from driving.
