Driving Without Insurance
An offence which can be committed entirely unknowingly. It is also an offence which can reverse the burden of proof onto the accused person. We can provide expert advice on how to defend this charge and whether special reasons for non-endorsement may apply in your case. Use the Driving Without Insurance button for more.
Failure to Provide a Specimen
Often viewed by the courts as a more serious offence than drink-driving itself. See our essential guide by clicking the below Failure to Provide a Specimen button where you will find information on the charge and what does (and what does not) constitute a defence to such an allegation.
Failure to Stop & Report an Accident
If your vehicle is involved in an accident resulting in damage or injury, you have a duty to stop and provide details under Section 170 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. If you are unable to do so for any reason, you must also report the incident to the police as soon as possible and, in any event, within 24 hours. Full details can be found by clicking the above Failure to Stop & Report an Accident button.

We are Road Traffic Law Experts: it is what we do every day….nothing else!
We were the first firm in Scotland to specialise exclusively in Road Traffic Law. Our domain was registered in 2001, confirming we were the first firm to specialise in this area of law.

During his career, our founder Graham Walker has been invited to provide member training for the Law Society of Scotland, Glasgow Bar Association, The Royal Faculty of Procurators, and Scottish courts. His successor, our current managing director Mr Farmer, is a gifted academic who graduated top of his year from Glasgow University. They have featured in National Newspapers and on TV & Radio.
