Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between dangerous and careless driving?
Dangerous driving falls far below the standard of a competent driver and is obviously dangerous. Careless driving is below the standard but less serious. The charge you face makes a big difference to the penalty.
Will I go to prison for dangerous driving?
It is possible for serious cases, along with an obligatory ban and extended retest. Strong representation can make the difference to whether custody is imposed.
Can the charge be reduced to careless driving?
Sometimes, depending on the evidence. We assess whether the facts really amount to dangerous driving and negotiate or argue for the lesser charge where appropriate.
