Crown Court Or Magistrates Court?
Crown Court Or Magistrates Court?
Question:
Are s 172 Road Traffic Acts 1988 offences triable either way?
Dominic Says:
Thank you for your question. The answer is no. The vast majority of road traffic offences are summary only. This means that they can only be tried in the magistrates court.
You do not have the right to elect a crown court trial with a jury. Why do you ask? Tell me more about what has actually happened and I will be able to help further.

A good service - everyone I spoke to at Patterson Law were knowledgeable and efficient. They also gave me an excellent barrister … More for my defence in a road traffic matter, and the result was better than I could have ever hoped for. Worth every penny, in my case. Thanks.

I was facing a possible ban under the totting up procedure for speeding points. I got in touch with Patterson Law to check … More out whether I could escape. I spoke to Hilary Moon and was reassured that there are exemptions. Hilary was very friendly and professional and FOC offered me advice on possible ways forward. As it turned out I was offered a speed course so didn't need court representation but I have kept Patterson Law on file because on nine points who knows what is round the corner! I would thoroughly recommend their practice.
