Failure to Provide

A road traffic charge in Glasgow can threaten your driving licence, your livelihood, and your freedom. Whether you have been charged with drink driving after being stopped on the M8, accused of dangerous driving on the M74, or are facing a totting up disqualification that could end your career, specialist legal representation is essential. Charles Ferguson Solicitors are experienced road traffic defence lawyers serving Glasgow and the surrounding area from our office at 20-23 Woodside Crescent, G3 7QL.

Glasgow Sheriff Court — Road Traffic Cases

Road traffic cases arising in the Glasgow area are typically prosecuted at Glasgow Sheriff Court, 1 Carlton Place, G5 9DA, or at Glasgow Justice of the Peace Court which sits in the same building. More serious road traffic cases, such as causing death by dangerous driving, may be prosecuted at the High Court of Justiciary. Our solicitors appear across all of these courts and have extensive experience defending every category of road traffic charge.

Road Traffic Offences We Defend

Drink Driving and Drug Driving — Scotland's 50mg limit means many people are caught unaware. We challenge the evidence, procedure, and reliability of testing equipment, including the hip flask defence where appropriate. Dangerous Driving — a conviction carries a minimum 12-month disqualification and can result in imprisonment. We scrutinise the evidence and explore whether the lesser charge of careless driving is more appropriate. Careless Driving — we assess the circumstances to determine whether the driving genuinely fell below the required standard. Speeding — we challenge speed camera evidence, device calibration, and NIP validity (must be served within 14 days). Totting Up and Exceptional Hardship — facing 12 or more penalty points? The court must disqualify you for a minimum of 6 months unless exceptional hardship is demonstrated. We prepare compelling applications. Driving While Disqualified — a serious charge that almost always results in further disqualification. Driving Without Insurance — 6-8 points or discretionary disqualification. Mobile Phone Offences — 6 penalty points per conviction.
