Legal advice if you leave the scene of the accident
Unfortunately, there are cases of persons who are involved in car accidents and leave the scene without calling the ambulance and the police.

In the case you are being sent to police custody, make sure you contact our driving offence solicitors in Birmingham who can explain your rights in the first place.

What happens if I do not provide a specimen for analysis?
Persons caught by the police in traffic for a checkup routine will have to cooperate with the authorities if drinking or drug-driving suspicions are presented. The police have the right to solicit specimens for analysis, check the alcohol level in your breath, or ask for a blood test. It is important to know that failing to provide a specimen for analysis is against the laws, and it is considered a serious offence, unless a person provides a reasonable excuse to skip such tests. Otherwise, the police can retain persons who fail to provide a specimen for analysis, particularly if they believe you drive the car after consuming alcohol. Let one of our driving offence solicitors in Birmingham take your case and provide immediate legal advice, in order for you to avoid penalties and imprisonment. We are at your disposal if you deal with driving offences of any kind.
Legal advice for speeding offences
In cases of speeding offences, penalties are involved, and persons might pay some huge fines. However, the police might consider you were involved in dangerous driving if the speed was that high. In such cases, the authorities can retain the driver’s license, impose disqualify points, and issue serious fines. Nevertheless, if you do not agree with the police decision, you should get in touch with one of our Birmingham DUI lawyers and ask for complete legal assistance and support.
