Please enter your comments? I had 3 points on my licence and was facing a ban when I came to you with this. What started out as a short cut to work ended up a nightmare with me trying to get away from the police. It all could have ended up so much worse but you attended court on 2 separate occasions and managed to negotiate a deal with the PF that meant I only got 4pp on my licence. Considering what the police claimed happened I was delighted that you managed to get it all sorted without me even having to go to court.
I have already referred others to you as I know that is really important in my business too!.
Thanks for keeping me on the road. I was just about to get married when this all came to court and I thought I was going to lose my licence, my job and have to delay my wedding. You managed to keep everything on track and even helped me out with a deal on your usual fee. We are both very grateful for all your advice and your representation at Glasgow Justice of the Peace court.

Please enter your comments? I just want to say thank you for keeping me on the road. It is a massive relief to know that I will not be banned after months of waiting for my trial.
I know Mr Walker deals with a lot of high profile types so I was a bit concerned about whether I could afford his fees. At first I thought it was expensive but the fee was set at the outset and I had to go to court on about 6 occasions to get this sorted. I guess it was really good value at the end of the day as roadtrafficlaw delivered a great result (Case deserted). I was 100% delighted with that!
I would have no hesitation in recommending you guys to anyone charged with drink driving or any road traffic offence.

Where are you from? Dunfermline
Please enter your comments?I already had a lawyer BEFORE I went to you but felt badly let down when he took a fee then turned up at court just to have me plead guilty. You guys got involved, overturned the guilty plea, went to trial and won.
Undoubtedly saved my licence as I was on 9pp. I was kept really well informed and would say that it would be hard to beat the service you offered. Mr Walker appeared and withdrew the guilty plea. Although I had to attend court a lot. I think this was due to the fact that I went to a lawyer who did not really know what he was doing compared to the guys at Roadtrafficlaw. The difference was clear from the start with clear explanations about what needed to happen and how it was going to happen. At one stage I just wanted to give up as we had been back and forth to that court for 2 years but Mr Walker said stick with it and we got the result. I just wish I had not wasted my time with another so called “cheaper lawyer” as that just delayed matters and meant I had to spend much more time going to and from the court to sort their mess.
I really appreciate what roadtrafficlaw did for me and cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone charged with a road traffic offence

Please enter your comments? More than happy with the outcome, was driving 72 on a 50 and had a separate charge of doing 82 on a 50, Mr Walker was more than helpful with his advice and even managed to get both cases called on the same day saving me £££ in fees all over again and had 1 case completely dropped and second 1 reduced to 4 points and a £140 fine. i was looking at a ban if convicted of both, i have now kept my licence due to Mr Walker and will use him again and would recommend him to any1. thanks again Mr Walker and will see you again with my other case.

Please enter your comments? Wow Wow Wow I have had these cases worrying me sleepless for months, one telephone call and a quick visit to the Glasgow Office and I had the first case dismissed without even having to give evidence, just had a call to say the Mobile Case calling tomorrow has also now been dismissed, these cases would have cost me my licence, I can’t believe how efficient and smart these guys are, they certainly know the Traffic Law inside out and Back to Front, if you need a Road Traffic Lawyer these are definitely the guys to come to.
Thank You all, so so so so much, might get a good nights sleep tonight now. Phew, what a relief.

Please enter your comments? I was caught doing 82mph in a 50 and stood a good chance of losing my license which would also have meant losing my license to drive heavy goods vehicles. Either way I would have lost my job and would have been in real trouble.In the end, with your help, I got 5 points and a £500 fine. I have kept my license and my job and been given a valuable lifeline that I really needed. I can’t put into words how grateful I am for your help as my whole future depends on my driving license. I will definitely recommend your firm to everyone I know.

Please enter your comments? I attended Edinburgh Justice of the Peace court for trial and was met by Mr Walker at the doors of court. He had just finished speaking with the Procurator Fiscal and had pointed out the Crown’s evidential difficulties. Fortunately the Procurator Fiscal was able to take a pragmatic view and he decided not to call the case in light of the evidential issues.
All I can say is thank you very much Mr Walker. I had been told that “You were the man to go to in Scotland” and you clearly demonstrated that at court and with your firms handling of my case.

Please enter your comments?Further to yesterdays court case I would like to say thank you very, very much for the outcome.
With being stupid enough to be driving at more than twice the speed limit in a restricted zone and thus being reported to the procurator fiscal, I knew that I had more than a 50 / 50 chance of a ban.
After a recommendation regarding your company and services, I am very glad I acted on this. To receive the minimum points and a small fine is better than what I perceived as the best outcome.
Thank you again and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to anybody in a similar position in the future.

Graham Walker negotiated a reduced speed and tendered the plea in my absence. I was very very satisfied with the outcome and I did not have to go to court or get involved with the courts.

Please enter your comments? I was charged with dangerous driving and a breach of the peace. These are serious charges and people go to jail for them. I went to Graham walker and received a very satisfactory outcome. The service they provided was highly professional and they had a clear and thorough grasp of the law and all that was required in my case. As a result I was found not guilty of the Dangerous Driving charge and I was dealt with by way of a fine. I was very satisfied with that outcome and would not hesitate to recommend Graham and his team at Roadtrafficlaw.com

Please enter your comments? You may be looking at these testimonials because you need help with your situation, you will be worried about your future because you have been charged.
Here is my advice, don’t look any further, the commitment shown by these guys is a commitment that I never thought existed !
I was charged with dangerous driving almost a year and a half ago, and my life had been filled with worry for all that time, I decided to defend as I knew I was not guilty of the charges given to me.
Something like 5 visits to court later we eventually settled on a 2 day period to get the case heard in its entirety as the last 2 visits the Crown witnesses didn’t even all turn up !
It took pretty much the full 2 days to hear all the Crown evidence and defence evidence, I only wish I could have made a video of Kirsty in that courtroom it was like something from a movie, she was razor sharp and missed nothing, much to the detriment of the Fiscal and Crown witnesses !
Real knowledge of her trade and professionalism resulted in the judge deciding that there were too many inconsistances in the Crown evidence and because of that he found me not guilty …… wow what a feeling.

Please enter your comments? Date of Hearing 21.06.2010
Was charged with the blanket charge of Dangerous Driving following being stopped for speeding in excess of 109mph on the A1 at Wallyford East Lothian. Your world kind of ends to say the least!, I immediately sought the advice of a professional to ascertain what to do. To be honest I approached 3 of the Main Players in this field, The response received from Graham and his team was not only the quickest but also the most thorough and reassuring. I work in the motor trade and rely on my license to commute and carry out my employment. Now I know they are not cheap but if you find yourself in this awful position You need the best available and i can genuinely say Road Traffic Law are just that. My case dragged on for almost a year and a half due to Police and P.F ineptitude in releasing the relevant video evidence, That’s a long time to have a possible twelve month ban hanging over you. The advice i received was honest, straight forward and never misleading or full of false hope and empty promises.Ultimately i was represented by the man himself. A very short appearance later My charge was lowered to Careless and i received 6 points. A result i felt ,when you consider the alternative. However if it was not for a keen eye for detail and a very good understanding of the evidence and level of proof required, my result could and no doubt would have been much worse. My license and income are retained and despite being a skeptical at times I really cannot endorse this companies performance highly enough!
I hope you never need the services of a road traffic lawyer, however should the need arise call off Your Search, Look no further and Make the call. Please email me should you need an endorsement or comment on Graham and his Team. Graham, one final word, Thank you sincerely for All You Did and for rearranging a hectic schedule to represent me in person. Your efforts are very much appreciated. I shall pass on your info to anyone in a similar position. Thanks Dave masters
please allow any potential clients to email me.
Thanks Guys!!!!!!!

Please enter your comments? I had no idea how to proceed with my court summons for speeding until I contacted Roadtrafficlaw.com. I did shop around for other quotes for dealing with my case but no other firm came close to providing me with the personal service that I wanted to proceed with my case.
Roadtrafficlaw.com provided me with a fast, professional and thorough service. No question was too silly for me to ask. They guided me through the whole process and with the wealth of expertise at their disposal I was always given the best advice possible. The Solicitor who defended me in court was more than I could have hoped for. No one could have done a better job. I am completely satisfied with the service that I received, I couldn’t have asked for more!
Thank you roadtrafficlaw.com”

Stopped By Police: Common Mistakes Made
As many of you may know, being pulled over and stopped by police can be a fairly daunting and unnerving episode. Here are c couple of things to remember to help you handle the situation in the best manner and help improve your chances of defending your case.
How to deal with being Stopped by Police:
- We know it can be infuriating: However if stopped by police it is important to stay calm. DO NOT be Rude, Aggressive or Angry to the police officers: this will alert the police to remember who you are and the details of your charge at a later date
- Co-operate fully with the police: The officers are perfectly entitled to ask your Name, Address, M.O.T and Insurance information if stopped by police. Respond to each of these requests as it would be counterproductive not to do so.
- Do not request the documentation from Police regarding Calibration Certificates, Certificates of Authenticity, Speed Camera Accuracy etc: this will be dealt with at Trial. Instead, when you stopped by police you will probably be shown a speed gun or Video footage when in the car: If possible take a note of the name of the equipment which is used. There are a variety of Speed Guns used by the police and identifying the type of gun early can be of great use in winning your case.
- Obtain Video Evidence: This if often overlooked, however if stopped by police you are perfectly entitled to record a video, however do so subtly nobody likes a video thrust into their faces while trying to do their jobs! If the officer says that you cannot film them, simply state that ”you are videoing the incident so that you are able to rely on it at a later stage” Aspects such as 1.Weather Conditions, 2.Traffic Flow, 3.The Police’s position in relation to your car can all be useful in backing up YOUR version of events.
Stopped By Police: What Now?
If you have been stopped by police and believe that you are not guilty of the charges placed before you then it is important that you fight your case and defend yourself. If you find yourself in this position then there is no benefit to you by becoming confrontational: be aware, and look for information which can prove your innocence. It is important to contact a specialist solicitor for advice, most good solicitors should offer a free case consultation in order to help evaluate your options: to contact Graham Walker and the Road Traffic Law team fill out the online form at www.roadtrafficlaw.com, or Call now for your FREE consultation.
Mobile Phone Fines to Increase…
The use of a mobile phone while driving is one of the 3 most common road traffic law offences in Scotland. Many of the country’s motorists have a dismissive attitude to such an offence, refusing to acknowledge the dangers which can arrive if they talk/text while driving. As stated in this Blog before, studies show that using a mobile phone while driving can be just as, if not more, distracting than low level drink driving can be! In light of this, the penalty of mobile phone fines are being proposed for an increase.
Mobile Phone Fines to Increase by 50%
Following on from last months story regarding the recommendation that the use of a mobile phone while driving should be increased from 3 to 6 penalty points, an announcement was made which should see the monetary penalty for mobile phone use rise. The Transport Secretary, Patrick McLoughlin, announced that under new plans using a mobile phone behind the wheel is set to rise by 50% from£60 to£90. In the 10 years since the specific use of a mobile phone while driving was implemented over One Million motorists have been punished in the UK. Once introduced in 2003, the fine was set at£30, however the mobile phone fines were seen increased to£60 by February 2007 and the Government clearly sees reason to add an increased monetary punishment as a warning to motorists. The proposals state that the Penalty Points will be set at 3, however this may be reviewed in due course.
Mobile Phone Fines: What to do?
For many of our clients in these cases, a relatively small fine is not the issue. A mobile phone fines will see your license endorsed with 3 penalty points: often resulting in a ‘totting up ban’. Though the use of mobile phones is extremely distracting, many innocent drivers can and will be stopped by the police and charged with drive while using a mobile phone.
If you believe you have been issued with a mobile phone fines and are not guilty of the offence then contact Graham Walker and the Road Traffic Law team via the online form at www.roadtrafficlaw.com, or Call now for a FREE consultation
Dangerous Driving From iPad Man BUT Can They Prove It?
Dangerous driving comes in many shapes and sizes but a recent report in the Daily Record took the biscuit or should I say took the Tablet
There aren’t many people in Scotland who will be oblivious to the dangerous driving reported in the Scottish Daily Record of iPad Man.
Crazy Dangerous Driving BUT can they prove it?
While we all chat about whether the mad man driving along at more than 60mph while playing an iPad game we should expect the police to be attending upon him and providing him not just with a s172 warning that they have reasonable suspicion to believe his car has been involved in an offence but a s1 warning that he is likely to be prosecuted for dangerous driving but will it happen on time.
Dangerous Driving: iPad Daily Record Story
The Daily Record reported that this crazy was seen to be “playing a racing game” as he drove at high speed and undertook other vehicles.
The shocked photographer said:I was in the passenger seat as we passed this guy who was doing 65mph.
I looked down and couldn’t believe my eyes.
He was sitting playing the Real Racing game on his iPad and glancing up at the road every now and then.
I have never seen anything like it, it was terrifying to watch.
The guy looked to be in his mid-20s.
He saw me looking at him and was waving at me but when I tried to take a picture of his face he turned away behind the seat.
At one point he ÂÂÂundertook us still playing the game on the iPad.
If the guy keeps carrying on like this, he is going to kill himself or someone else, for sure. He needs a wake-up call.
The fact that he was playing a car racing game made it all the more unbelievable.
Could he not have been content just to do the real thing safely?
The motorist, whose black Fiesta sported blue go-fast stripes, was spotted on the motorway westbound stretch at the ÂÂÂEurocentral junction at 4.45pm on Thursday.
Neil Greig, director of policy and research at the Institute of Advanced Motorists said
This is a good case to highlight the dangers this kind of behaviour poses but the only way to combat it is to have a larger, high-profile police presence on our roads.
I am glad someone has reported this person to the authorities so they are caught.
Last night, we handed the astonishing photographs to the police.
They have now been forwarded to officers at the Police Scotland’s Road Policing Complex.
A spokesman said:Further inquiries will be continuing. Yes but will he receive his s1 warning on time because if he doesn’t get it within 14 days of this event he is going to go scot free. Case law in Scotland makes it clear that an appropriate warning regarding dangerous driving requires to be provided within 14 days and if it is not so provided the court cannot convict of dangerous driving.
Dangerous Driving Story Response
I was surprised to see such a feeble response from the Labour Justice spokesman who was reported as saying: “Drivers need to know the difference between playing games and living in the real world.” Well so do politicians and they should expect that the electorate might be saying things like what is going to be done about this type of dangerous driving case. You cannot police it with vans on bridges, GATSOS at the side of the road or other expensive tech toys…you need cops on patrol and more support from the top. We may have a unified single police force in Scotland but they haven’t put any more cars on the road and reports are that they have got rid of jobs. I wonder if there is any truth in that and what does the shadow Justice Secretary say about that situation?
Drink Driving: Serious Crashes on the Increase in Fife
Drink Driving is a topic which we have covered often in our Blog, however too many times we are reading reports which show that many drivers are not heeding the warnings from campaigns aimed at reducing drink driving incidents. As reported below, serious drink driving crashes have increased in Fife:
Drink Driving Crashes Increase in Fife
Latest statistics show that the number of serious car crashes caused by drink driving increased across Fife last year. Fife council today announced a report, in consultation with the Fife Safety Camera Partnership and the Community Safety Partnership Road Safety Support Unit, showing there were eight serious collisions recorded due to drivers who had consumed alcohol, which is double the total in 2011. Although this is concerning news, there is hope that the General Motorist on the road is complying with the Anti Drink Driving message:
The same report shows that the number of slight injuries caused in crashes involving drink however decreased, while there were no fatalities recorded in collisions where alcohol was involved. Overall there was good news for motorists as the number of casualties as a result of road accidents fell by 48 from 597 to 549, which is a record low for the Kingdom and exceeds targets set by the Scottish Government. Although the number of fatal accidents decreased, there were seven in Fife during last year, which included the deaths of two West Fifers.
Drink Driving Overview
As most of us are aware the framework for Scotland’s Police force changed last year when the countries 8 Police forces united to form ‘Police Scotland’. The new Police body has instantly targeted motorist in order to ‘reduce fatalities and make Scotland’s roads safer’. We support any police initiative which is aimed at making the countries roads safer: however we also believe that the Police would be better serving the country in targeting Knife crime, or other forms of serious violent behaviour rather than the motorists on our roads.
