Common questions

Will I lose my licence?

Many drink-driving charges carry mandatory licence loss, but the length and conditions vary. We advise on your reading and history.

Should I just plead guilty?

Not before getting advice — how a plea is presented can significantly affect the penalty and licence period.

Can a charge be defended?

Sometimes — depending on how the reading was obtained and the procedure followed. We'll tell you honestly.

Can I get advice in my own language?

Yes — Punjabi, Arabic and Hindi-speaking team members are available.
