Motoring Offences Joe Rawlings Defends

Joe defends a wide range of driving-related charges including:

​

• Speeding Offences
  Caught on camera or stopped at the roadside? He’ll explore every option to challenge the charge or reduce the penalty.
   

• Drink Driving / Drug Driving
  These are serious charges with serious consequences. Joe has defended countless clients accused of these offences and often secures reduced sentences or case dismissals.
   

• Driving Without Insurance or Licence
  Sometimes it’s an honest mistake. Joe ensures your side of the story is heard and negotiate for the best possible outcome.
   

• Mobile Phone Offences
  If you're accused of using a phone while driving, Joe will examine all angles to challenge the evidence.
   

• Failing to Provide Information / Identity
  These technical offences can often be resolved through negotiation and legal argument.
   

• Totting-Up Bans & Exceptional Hardship
  If you’re at risk of losing your licence due to accumulating 12+ points, Joe can argue exceptional hardship to help you stay on the road.
   

 

Facing a Driving Ban? Don’t Give Up.

Disqualification from driving isn’t always inevitable. In many cases, Joe is able to present mitigating circumstances to avoid a ban completely or reduce the length of disqualification.

 

These could include:

• Work or family commitments
   

• Health issues
   

• Emergency circumstances at the time of the offence
   

He also knows how to argue for special reasons not to endorse — for instance, if you drove in an emergency or without knowing your insurance was invalid.

 

Early Legal Advice Is Crucial

Whether you’ve received a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP), been summoned to court, or are under police investigation, the earlier you seek legal advice, the better your chances of a positive outcome.

Joe provides clear, strategic advice from day one. He'll explain your options in plain English and fight your corner every step of the way — in and out of court.
