Drug Driving
The UK Government have introduced new drug driving laws that make it a specific offence to drive, or be in charge of, a vehicle while under the influence of excessive amounts of presently 16 specified substances. New drugalysers will be used to test drivers at the roadside, and supporters of the new laws say that it will help to reduce the number of deaths and accidents that occur every year.
Speeding
Most motorists within the UK will receive a speeding ticket (NIP) at some point throughout their driving career. The sentences for these offences can range from a speed awareness course to 3 points and £100 fine to a lengthy disqualification from driving.
When prosecuting an individual for a speeding offence, the burden of proof is on the Prosecution…
Mobile Phone Offences
Section 41D of the Road Traffic Act 1988 makes it an offence to use a mobile telephone or other similar device in a handheld capacity whilst driving. The terms “use” and “driving” have been debated at length in case law and as with all cases, the individual facts of the case are fundamentally important as to whether a case can be successfully defended or not. Other offences relating to mobile phones to also exist.
In The Art of the Loophole, Nick draws on decades of courtroom experience to explain how intelligent, strategic thinking can transform even the most difficult cases. Known for developing imaginative and innovative defences — often in situations that appear, at first glance, indefensible — he has helped reshape the way motoring law is practised in the UK.
The book sets out the core principles behind his approach, revealing how careful analysis, attention to detail and a deep understanding of legal process can expose weaknesses in prosecutions and open up legitimate defences. Rather than promoting shortcuts or gimmicks, it demonstrates how the law must be applied fairly, correctly and proportionately.
Clear, practical and written in plain English, The Art of the Loophole offers readers an insight into Nick Freeman’s legal mindset and shows how the same principles can be applied to everyday situations — ensuring that the law works as it should, for everyone.
