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.

I contacted Patterson Law when I received a FPN. Rachel and Danny got back to me very promptly with thorough written advice … More and responded each time with my follow up questions. Professional, responsive and informative. They really helped me make an informed decision. Thank you.

I had excellent help and representation from Patterson Law with a speeding matter for which I had to attend Court. Prior … More to my Court date Jonathan Guscott was extremely helpful in giving me advice and direction as to how to best prepare for my hearing and what things would be helpful to take with me.At the hearing itself I was represented by Daniella Adelowoye whom Patterson Law instructed on my behalf. Daniella was excellent giving me ample time to go through matters with her before my time in the Court and also made me feel comfortable about the process in Court and what to expect. She understood my case superbly, as did Jonathon, and I found her extremely knowledgeable and I felt very reassured having her with me at Court. I would have no hesitation recommending Jonathan, Daniella and Patterson Law in general to anyone needing similar representation to myself.

This lovely team has helped me in court twice now, yesterday being the most important court case for me as I facing a 6 month … More ban due to being a totter. They worked hard and amazingly well to make sure I had the best possible chances of beating the case, and I did! I'm so relieved and happy that it's finally over. The money I paid was definitely reasonable and worth it! Not overpriced at all as I got more higher quotes from others. Thank you for being such a brilliant service, appreciate you guys so much! More than 5 stars I wish I could reward

I had a fantastic experience with Patterson Law Firm! I was dealing with a stressful road traffic offence, and the legalities … More surrounding it seemed overwhelming at first. However, after reaching out to them for advice, I was given clear and practical guidance on how to proceed by Hiliary. She was professional, understanding, and genuinely attentive to my case. Steph was regularly was regular checking on progress and that I was staying on track.Their initial advice made all the difference, especially when I decided to follow one of their suggestions, which ultimately relieved a lot of the stress and anxiety. I’m incredibly grateful for their support and help to navigate through the situation with ease.Highly recommend their services for anyone in need of expert legal advice!

I emailed Patterson Law for advice regarding a Notice of Intended Prosecution that I have received. 24 hours later I received … More a full, detailed response to my inquiry. Excellent service which I would highly recommend to anyone and which, should the need ever arise in the future, will be my first port of call for advice.
