Where drink driving or drug driving offences are concerned, there are a number of ways in which it is possible to either avoid conviction or secure a more lenient penalty:
- the police may have failed to follow procedure during your arrest, for instance they may have neglected to take adequate breath, blood or urine specimens or conducted the sampling procedure inappropriately
- your drink may have been spiked
- an emergency situation may have left you with no option but to drive
- you may have travelled such a short distance that you could not have put the public at risk by your driving
UK drink driving law is extremely complex; by obtaining expert legal advice from our solicitors at an early stage, you can significantly increase the chances of the prosecution failing or achieving an acquittal.
