The client was prosecuted for failing to provide (vehicle driver). The issues in the case were the failure by the police to give the statutory warning and reasonable excuse as the client had been distracted by matters which he considered more serious (which is permissible legal argument under case law) namely a false allegation of assault. Alexander Rostron instructed by Laura Heywood (reviewing lawyer) persuaded the prosecution to accept a guilty plea to fail to provide (in charge) at the first hearing with 10 penalty points imposed by the Court instead of a lengthy driving ban.
