Exceptional Hardship Argument in Court

  • Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
  • Most driving offences carry penalty points that will be endorsed on your driving licence.
    When the number of these points reaches (or 'tots up to) 12 the court normally imposes a disqualification of at least 6 months, and sometimes 12 or more if there has been a similar 'totting up' ban in the past 4 years.
    This can be disproportionately harsh on drivers whose livelihood relies on their licence or the facts of the offences or other circumstance would produce "exceptional hardship".
    In these circumstances an application can be made for the court to use their discretion for clemency on the usual disqualification.
    This video sets out some of the useful things that surround such an application.

      This may result in the very serious crime of “Attempting to pervert the course of justice” a prison term normally follows.

      Doesn't it get suspended for two years and you end up doing community service or similar
