Driving

Driving allegations frequently have far-reaching implications. 9BR Chambers are equipped to provide early practical advice and contest alleged driving offences where required. 9BR Chambers regularly represents those driving for a living and high-profile individuals.

Our barristers strive to keep clients on the road and in their vehicles wherever possible when facing prosecution for driving offences. We work with experts in medicine, toxicology, pharmacology and collision reconstruction to ensure our clients’ cases are contested with forensic vigour.

9BR Chambers covers all types of driving cases including those resulting in death or very serious injury, speeding, drink driving, drug driving and driving whilst disqualified. As well as being frequently engaged by high-profile individuals, we regularly represent taxi drivers, chauffeurs, bus drivers, HGV drivers, bus companies and those driving for a living for whom prosecution can have disastrous personal and business consequences.

We also act for individuals and businesses facing international driving prosecutions. These cases often involve people smuggling, weapons, drugs and contraband and may involve severe consequences such as financial penalties, vehicle forfeiture, forfeiture of valuable cargoes and imprisonment.
