Traffic Signs
Turned the wrong way - avoiding penalty points
I would like to ask for your advice on the below issue.
The incident happened on x at the corner of x and x (London ).
Despite of the sign ‘one way’ (green arrow to straight ahead), I turned left from Great Windmill St. I was caught on the spot and admit my mistake, too. I also accepted the fixed penalty (please see the attached document).
I wonder if there is any way to avoid the penalty points on my driving license – without going to the court. This was the first incident I had since I drive in the UK (for 4 years now); my job is related to driving on a daily basis therefore I would appreciate your suggestion / advice to prevent any additional penalty.
If you have a court hearing date call 01626 359800

It's not easy to defend a speeding allegation and its becoming increasingly difficult with cases like this.
A new client came to us after being banned by the Magistrates for 6 months. He had accumulated 12 points within 3 years and the Magistrates court banned him for 6 months. The client tried to argue exceptional hardship on his own and the court rejected his argument.
Our client instructed us to represent him at court when he was charged with overloading a hired minibus. He had hired the minibus as he had his extended family visiting for a holiday. At the same time builders were refurbishing his house and asked him if he could help them collect some extra sand and cement. Our client agreed and they went with him to the DIY shop to collect the materials.
