Driving whilst disqualified is illegal
Make no mistake, driving while you are disqualified is illegal and you will very likely encounter severe penalties.
However, there are many situations in which you may have a defence to this. For instance, it’s possible to create a defence to prove that you had no reason to believe that you were actually disqualified at the time. Likewise, there are some situations in which driving may be completely unavoidable, such as in an emergency situation.
So no matter the circumstances, our legal team will be confident in helping you put forward a defence that can help you escape these severe punishments. While driving when you’re disqualified is no doubt illegal, avoiding prosecution is entirely possible.
Is it possible to prosecution and punishment when you’re caught driving whilst disqualified?
There are a handful of ways that we can build a strong defence to help you avoid being prosecuted.
For example, it may be possible to prove that you were not driving in the car at the time that you were “caught”. Similarly, if you have a legitimate reason for driving despite your disqualification, then the courts can be persuaded to drop potential punishments. In some cases, you can argue that you were on private property when you were arrested, as this becomes a civil offence that requires the owner of the land to sue you. Lastly, you may have not received any notification that you were disqualified from driving.
If you’re due to attend court to potentially face a driving ban, then our legal team will help you create a strong defence to mitigate the punishment. For example, we can attempt to prove that the ban will be extremely inconvenient for your living situation, or that you should not be banned from driving due to the circumstances that led to the case.
