People mistakenly tend to think that if you receive 12 penalty points on your driving licence you must instantly be banned from driving. However, there is often a way for your licence to be saved. People often wonder how many points are needed for a ban. There would have to be a hearing at the Magistrates Court to establish whether this was the case, and you would need to give sworn evidence. It must, obviously, go beyond hardship that a person would normally suffer if they lost their driving licence.
It must be more than just mere inconvenience caused by not being able to drive. The magistrates would be very interested to hear if anyone else would be affected. They will want to hear about how any members of your family, or your friends, will be affected if you cannot drive. It is therefore very important that such arguments are backed up with relevant letters and documentation.
For example, if it is being argued that disqualification will result in you losing your job, then it would be appropriate to obtain a letter from your employer saying that this is the case. If you arguing that you need to be able to drive to continue to visit someone who is unwell then medical documentation explaining their condition would be helpful.

Here we give a summary of the various scenarios you could expect after getting 12 points on your license….
Your representation at the trial was very impressive and got the results I was looking for. My journey leading to the positive outcome of not getting a driving ban even though I had reached twelve points totting up ban could not have gone any better.
In the initial stages the costs can be scary but I am assured now more than ever that it was one of the best investments I could have made. I say investment as otherwise I believe that I could have lost my licence and earnings. I would like to thank you again for the great service and helping me to retain my licence. I would not hesitate in recommending Bobby to anyone. You dealt with my case efficiently and effectively, all within a matter of two weeks.
The preparation was thorough and the good advice ultimately led to the achievement of my desired result. I was immediately relieved as soon as you took on the case.
Your experience showed, and your timely response to every query I had put my mind at ease. For that, I thank you once again. Given the turn of events that overtook proceedings on the day, I was impressed by the mettle and resourcefulness you showed in handling matters — and inexpressibly relieved by the final outcome.
Excellent value not just in terms of outcome, but also for the quality of communications — and the timely manner in which I was kept abreast of proceedings and options at each step of the way. Having chosen you from a number of other specialist solicitors, I was immensely pleased by the vindication of my choice — not just in terms of outcome, but on cost too. My decision to appoint you was as much a result of your reputation on the forums, as of the confidence you inspired during our preliminary discussion … so, long may your stock continue to rise.
With sincerest gratitude. Bobby had travelled down to Surrey where I met him at the court. He was prompt at checking us in and then sitting down with me to go over some details, with all that sorted, we were called in to court. My fear disappeared as soon as I saw the interior of the court room and I had the reassurance of Bobby who was eager to sink his teeth in.
Charges were read out and Bobby set about defending me, each of the Magistrates were provided with a letter from my MD which Bobby advised me to get as I need my car for my job along with an aerial photo of the area I was caught to show the short distance the car was into the 50 zone.
The clerk was an absolute monster, she really was on the ball and worth her money. She was trying her best to get me down for a 6 month totting ban and any excuse to throw dirt in our faces, she would. Bobby was able to put her back in her place every time, he oozed confidence and not once did he back down.
