How to avoid being convicted of drink driving

People convicted of drink driving must be banned from driving by the courts for at least six months. They also face additional sanctions such as a fine or community service, or even the risk of a prison sentence. Given such serious penalties it is worth taking steps to avoid being convicted of such an offence.

How do I avoid a speeding conviction?

However many people will at times inadvertently creep over the limit, and if this applies to you then the advice given here will help you minimise the chances of being convicted of speeding. This does not mean that we advocate people driving in excess of the speed limit.
