If you have 12 or more penalty points and are facing a totting up driving ban, we can help!
We will work with you to identify issues in your life that allow you to continue driving despite having 12 or more penalty points. Reasons such as serious disruption to vulnerable members of your family, loss of employment to others, long term harm to your financial standing if you will not be able to meet debt payments, and many more things can be enough to allow you to continue driving.
You can only use on a reason once in any three year period. You can make multiple exceptional hardship applications providing you have different reasons for each application or they are made more than three years apart. So it is important to marshall your most persuasive points
Our experienced solicitors can guide you through the court process and help you build a solid application to put before the court.
What counts as exceptional hardship?
For hardship to count as exceptional it must be more than is normally suffered by somebody losing their driving licence. Commonly, people will argue that the loss of a job should count as exceptional hardship; however, some courts have held that this is not enough.
At Oxford Drink Driving Solicitor, we have found that the best approach is to argue that the hardship will be caused to somebody else whenever possible. So, rather than saying "I will lose my job." It is better to say, "I know I’ve done wrong, but I will lose my job and that will mean that I cannot support my children and that they risk being made homeless." This works much better because it is far easier to have sympathy for somebody who is going to suffer through no fault of their own.
