- Offence: Failing to Stop & Report
Failing to Stop & Report an Accident at Edinburgh JP Court. Our client was involved in an accident. He was charged with careless driving,and failing to stop at the scene of the accident and also with failing to report the accident to the police. He had abandoned the car at the scene and gone home. The police found alcohol within the car and there was a strong suspicion that the driver had been drink driving. He also had a bad driving record. We resolved the case at an early stage with a plea of guilty to the careless driving charge. The remaining charges were dropped and our client avoided disqualification. This is an good example of how proper expert advice can result in an excellent outcome.
