A Guide to Special Reasons

This is another area of law that relates to disqualification from driving.

In very limited circumstances when a defence cannot be raised to a charge but evidence can be presented that the circumstances surrounding the offence were such, that a disqualification from driving should not occur, the court have discretion not do do so.

Examples dealing with emergency situations are very often cited.

EG Medical emergency is not a defence to an offence of speeding, but clearly you should not be punished with penalty points if this is the case.
