Drink or Drug Driving

Being Accused of Drink or Drug Driving Can Be a Stressful and Overwhelming Experience. We understand the impact it may have on you, your family, your career, and your ability to drive. The festive season, with its celebrations and gatherings, often sees a rise in incidents, and law enforcement is more vigilant than ever. Facing potential penalties such as a driving ban, hefty fines, or even a custodial sentence can be daunting.

Rees Clayton Solicitors are here to ease the pressure and fight your corner throughout the process. We have successfully defended a wide range of drink and drug driving cases, including:

• Failing a roadside breathalyser test.
• Refusing to provide a sample.
• Being charged with driving over the legal alcohol limit.
• Drug driving offences involving prescription or illegal substances.

We have defended numerous cases over the years and have extensive experience in this area. Many cases can involve mitigating factors, such as the consumption of alcohol being lower than alleged or prescription medication leading to unexpected results. Others may hinge on procedural errors during testing or at the roadside.

One of the key issues that arises is whether the evidence against you has been collected and handled properly. In law, any procedural mishandling can cast doubt on the reliability of the prosecution’s case. However, proving this often requires thorough investigation and expertise.

Rees Clayton Solicitors recognise these challenges and can assist you in preparing your defence. A proactive and meticulous approach can often lead to a reduced penalty, overturned charges, or even a full acquittal. We will always treat your case with total care, confidentiality, and respect.
