Sometimes, the evidence in a speeding case is simply undeniable. The Notice of Intended Prosecution was served correctly, the speed detection device was calibrated and used properly, and the signs were clear. In these situations, attempting to fight the charge itself is not just futile; it can be counterproductive, potentially leading to a harsher sentence after a lost trial.

However, even when a conviction is inevitable, the battle is far from over. The focus now shifts entirely to damage limitation. This is where the skill of specialist speeding offence solicitors in presenting a powerful "plea in mitigation" becomes absolutely crucial. It is an art form—the art of persuading the court to impose the lowest possible penalty in the circumstances. At Motoring Defence, we are masters of this vital aspect of courtroom advocacy.
