It is human nature to think “it will never happen to me”, but it is a sad fact of life that an increasing number of us may, at some point, have a loved one that may go into a residential care home or require care and support in their own home. This may be due to illness, old age or perhaps as the result of personal injury or an accident, and it often happens at the most inconvenient of times.

When it comes to a vehicle offence, pleading ignorance is not a defence – no matter how careful a driver you are.
As a motorist you are responsible for ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy. Driving with a major problem, such as defective brakes or tyres, can lead to disqualification, whether or not you were aware of the defect. Even driving with a minor issue, like a blown bulb or overworn tyre, can result in penalty points and fines if not corrected within a 14-day timeframe.
If you are found to be in breach of motoring regulations, or have been accused of driving without an MOT, our trusted advice and support can help. With more than 20 years' experience, we help keep the wheels of good drivers where they should be; on the road.
