Mr H had been caught travelling at 67mph in a 50mph zone and faced 4 points on his licence. The difficulty was caused by Mr H already having 9 points on his licence and therefore at risk of being disqualified under the totting-up provisions.
An exceptional hardship argument was made, detailing to the court how Mr H was highly reliant on his driving licence as he had no other transferrable skills. The impact on his family would have been immense as he was the main breadwinner. After hearing all the details, the court was persuaded to impose the 4 penalty points but draw short of imposing a ban.
Result
Location: Guildford Magistrates Court
Offence: Totting Up
Outcome: Ban avoided
