Common Questions About Motoring Offences

What is a Fixed Penalty Notice?

Minor traffic offences such as speeding are often dealt with via a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) rather than through the Magistrates’ Court. An FPN can be issued on the spot by the police or sent through the post. By paying the FPN, you can avoid prosecution. However, if you believe the FPN was wrongly issued or a mistake has been made, we can advise and represent you in Court.

What types of sentences apply to road traffic offences?

Several sentences can apply if you are found guilty of a motoring offence, including:

• Penalty points added to your licence
• Disqualification from driving
• Community service
• Fines
• Imprisonment

You may also be ordered to pay compensation.

Is road rage a specific offence?

Most of us have experienced moments of anger while driving. Incidents of road rage can range from making rude gestures to causing serious harm or even death.

There is no specific offence of road rage. However, you can be charged with offences committed during an episode of anger towards another driver. For example, if another driver cuts you off and you start tailgating them, you could be charged with careless or dangerous driving. Threatening or harming someone could lead to charges of assault and/or battery.

Incidents of road rage can be alarming for victims and other road users. Regarding sentencing, the Court of Appeal in R. v Howells (Frank Thomas) [2002] EWCA Crim 1608; [2003] 1 Cr. App. R. (S.) 61 stated:

“For road rage cases of dangerous driving, where no accident nor injury results, and where there is no consumption of alcohol, but where there is ample evidence to suggest furious driving in temper with an intent of causing fear and possible injury, the appropriate sentencing bracket lies between 6 and 12 months.”

If you have been charged with any offence related to road rage, contact us immediately.
