Speeding Fines Costs

When contesting speeding fines both before any court hearing occurs and after any court hearing, there are clearly legal costs involved and incurred on behalf of the alleged offender and the Crown Prosecution Service. Where you successfully defeat a speeding charge at court, however, the court has power to make a costs order so that at least some of the costs you have incurred are paid from the public purse. This will not usually cover all of your costs but we will try to ensure that you recover as much as central funds is able, under the relevant rules, to order to be paid.

However, most clients feel that the real cost of not fighting a speeding fine is much greater than the financial cost of fighting it. Penalty points and the the loss of the driving licence in this day and age is often catastrophic for a person who needs their car for work. And money spent on preventing this is often well spent if it means preventing or at least minimising that loss.

When looking for a speeding fines lawyer, it is advisable to look for one who limits speeding fines costs by agreeing and charging a fixed fee so that you know where you stand from the very beginning.
