Speed Camera A90 Van Aberdeen to Dundee Road

Kept Licence
Forfar Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court

Speed Camera A90 Charges - Kept Licence - Forfar JP Court A90

Our client was accused of speeding on 3 separate occasions on the A90 Aberdeen to Dundee Road. He had been given a van by his employer and was advised - erroneously - that the van was legally entitled to drive at 70mph. Having relied upon that information our client was caught on three separate dates in a short space of time. He arrived home a few weeks later having received 3 NIPs. This would have resulted in a disqualification under the totting-up provisions as our client was already subject to 6 penalty points.

We were given the very clear task to save his licence.

We thoroughly investigated the case against him and found a number of technical lines of defence. 

We negotiated with the Procurator Fiscal and were successful in having two of the charges dropped. Our client pled guilty to a single charge of speeding resulting in the imposition of 4 penalty points and a fine of £250.

He was able to keep his licence and his employment. Job done.

 Kept Licence!
