Gepp Solicitors - Solicitors in Chelmsford, Essex

Driving without a licence may seem like a minor offence compared to other motoring violations, but the consequences can be significant.

You could face hefty fines, increased insurance premiums, and even disqualification from driving. It’s important to seek expert advice from a motoring law solicitor to ensure the best possible outcome for your case.

At Gepp Solicitors, we offer criminal law services to protect your rights and provide you with trusted legal advice and defence.

Driving without a licence

If you want to drive a motor vehicle then you are required by law to hold a full, valid driving licence. The only exception to this is if you are a learner holding a provisional licence, accompanied by a full licence holder (who has had their licence for at least three years), and the car is insured and displaying L plates.

Many people are unaware that the police have technology which can assess whether you hold a valid licence. Therefore, it is never worth driving without a licence thinking that the police will only find out by chance if they happen to stop you.

If you are caught by the police driving without a valid licence, you may incur serious penalties, including fines and points on your licence. You may even be taken to court and could be disqualified from driving.

What we can do for you

At Gepp Solicitors, we provide expert knowledge on the laws and procedures surrounding all motoring offences, including driving without a licence.

  • Guiding you through encounters with the police and handling Fixed Penalty Notices
  • Building a robust defence, exploring any ‘special reasons’ for the offense
  • Offering professional representation in court if necessary
