Driving without due care

These days the Police are less inclined to consider an accident was just that – an accident.  If they believe a driver was (or may have been) the cause of an accident, then it is highly likely that driver will be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention.  However, I can often persuade the Court to find a driver not guilty because the standard of driving did not drop below that of a reasonably competent driver.  This is a criminal charge and the Prosecution must prove the case ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ and that is a much higher standard than a claim for damages in the civil court.

  • Long story short i was caught speeding at 123mph on the motorway, had Ann Crighton as my solicitor came out with 6 points as we wanted instead of a long ban. Great service, very easy to deal with and an amazing price for the service provided.

  • I have nothing but full of praise for Ann Crighton, specially for the level of skills and expertise she handled my road traffic related case. Her cross-examination skills, attention to details and vast experience in legal matters make her an ideal barrister you want to have on your side. Thank you Ann!

  • Where do I start... First of all I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to Ann and her team, she supported me through the entire process from filing documents, corresponding with the courts right up until my court hearing. Ann is a passionate, hard working, committed and dedicated woman. Her talents really have no limits, she has been so warm and understanding. I really found the best person for the job who was willing and prepared to go beyond the extra mile to see I get the best result. She was honest every step of the way, so I knew realistically what to expect at every point! With her assistance, guidance and hard work I ended up winning my case. Even if I didn't win my case I can confidently say that she would have exhausted every possible resolution so I am grateful either way. I cannot express my gratitude enough and leaving a review doesn't do Ann and her team the justice it truly deserves. If anyone is looking for representation from a criminal lawyer then Ann and her team really are the best to seek advice from. Unlike other places you may find Ann doesn't focus on just taking your money and providing a sub-par service. This really is a world class service she aims to give and her dedication, impeccable attention to detail and drive will help you feel more at ease. Thank you soo very much Ann, wishing you all the best.

  • Ann helped me regain my license following a speeding offence in which I was going 76mph in a 50mph zone. Following the offence, my license was revoked as a result of gaining 6 points within my first 2 years of having my license however with the help of Ann's expertise I was able progress with a successful appeal which has lead to me having the ability to drive again. I would highly recommend to anyone in need of a knowledge, effective and reliable barrister.

  • I cannot thank Ann Crighton enough for her outstanding work on my case. From the moment we first spoke, Ann provided clear, expert advice that immediately put me at ease, even when others said it was impossible to win. Ann not only believed in my case but fought for me every step of the way. The defense she presented was thorough, well-prepared, and incredibly persuasive. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I achieved an outcome I never thought possible, allowing me to keep my driving license, which saved my job as well. I highly recommend Ann to anyone looking for a truly exceptional barrister. She went above and beyond, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you, Ann, for all your help.

  • Anne and Lynn were both brilliant. My dad was facing potential disqualification due to over speeding. She saved his license and he walked away with 6 points and a fine. Positive result and will recommend Anne to everyone. Thank you.

  • Highly recommend Ann Crighton’s service. Before I met Ann, I was in a extremely stressful situation however she helped to take that stress away. By showing her extensive knowledge in law I felt comfortable in her service. Ann supported me through the court process which ran smoothly and can now move forwards from this.
