MAJ Motoring Law Knowledge Hub

Welcome to the MAJ Motoring Law Knowledge Hub!

Motoring law can be confusing, especially when you're trying to find clear answers after being stopped by the police, receiving a Notice of Intended Prosecution, or being charged with a driving offence. The internet is full of conflicting information, and every case is different, making it difficult to know which advice you can rely on.

That's why we've created the MAJ Motoring Law Knowledge Hub.

This resource brings together answers to the most common questions we are asked by motorists across England and Wales. Whether you're facing a drink driving allegation, drug driving charge, speeding offence, mobile phone offence, dangerous driving investigation, or simply want to understand your legal rights, these FAQ's are designed to explain the law in clear, straightforward language.

Every Q&A has been written from a defence perspective, drawing on the experience of our specialist motoring solicitors. Rather than simply explaining what the law says, we explore the legal process, common misconceptions, potential defences, and the issues that may affect the outcome of a case.

Our aim is simple: to give motorists accurate, practical information that helps them understand what happens next and the options available to them.

If you can't find the answer you're looking for, or your situation is more complex, our team is always happy to help. Every case is unique, and obtaining specialist legal advice at an early stage can often make a significant difference.

Important: There are two completely different offences commonly referred to as "Failing to Provide." One relates to failing to identify the driver of a vehicle following a request under Section 172 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. The other relates to failing to provide a breath, blood or urine specimen during a drink or drug driving investigation. This section explains both.
