Have you got a court hearing date through yet? You are going to have to make sure that these two matters are brought together ion the same court otherwise you could use up your exceptional hardship argument on one of them and not be able to use the same argument again when the other case is finalised.
You are going to have to either defend both of these which is unlikely or you will have to persuade the court that the ban will cause you or those that rely on you exceptional hardship. It sounds as though you have the basis of a good argument. Its not easy though and statistically only 39% of these arguments succeed. We are succeeeding just over 90% of the time at the moment.

Do not use online letter packs that claim to "Get yourself off a Speeding Ticket - Guaranteed!"
No two cases are the same. You must not mislead the police. A pro forma letter is not necessarily going to be relevant to the cirmcumstances of your case.
The road traffic police have seen them all a thousand times before.

This case represents our toughest battle to date. It was a battle at every stage involving Magistrates, District Judges, Court Clerks, Cps lawyers and Crown Court Judges. The argument was all about whether a road was public or private.
