Charges: Using a hand held mobile phone/driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence/failing to give name and address.

The case was heard at Staines Magistrates Court.

The background facts of this case were considerably complex.

It is an unfortunate fact that the CPS is an underfunded and overworked organisation. Where a case is complex, there is an advantage to paying privately for a quality lawyer, who has the experience and time to gain a legitimate advantage on behalf of his client.

The outcome for this client was a £40 fine and 3 points on his licence! The penalty could have been significantly more!
