	Dangerous Driving As you would expect, this offence, especially if someone is killed, carries a strong likelihood of imprisonment as well as a mandatory ban. You may also be ordered to resit your test when the ban has expired. It goes without saying that legal advice should be sought not only for the court proceedings but also for any police interviews that you are required to give prior to charge. Whether your driving was “dangerous” will be a matter to be argued in court. The Prosecution have to show that the driving was below the standard of a competent driver and would be seen as dangerous by such a driver. Careless Driving This is less serious and applies to a standard of driving which falls below that expected of a reasonable and prudent driver. If this is contested at trial the witnesses alleging careless driving will have to be cross-examined in open court by you if you decline the opportunity of legal representation. You may have an explanation for careless driving such as a slippery substance or ice on the road or a mechanical defect in the vehicle. However explanations should not be fanciful and ought to be supported by appropriate evidence. There have also been cases where a defence of “duress of circumstances” has been found as where a driver has been careless or even dangerous in his driving but was under threat of serious injury having been attacked! In all cases we will point out the weaknesses in your case as well as the strengths so that you enter into contested proceedings knowing what the outcome risks are. Driving without consideration for other road users requires there to be other road users and for the prosecution to show knowingly acted without consideration.
