Clydebank and Dumbarton Sheriff Court — Road Traffic Cases
Road traffic cases arising in Clydebank are typically prosecuted at Dumbarton Sheriff Court, Church Street, Dumbarton, G82 1QR. In some cases, particularly where the circumstances involve Glasgow, proceedings may take place at Glasgow Sheriff Court. Dumbarton Sheriff Court handles the full range of road traffic offences for the West Dunbartonshire area. Our solicitors appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court regularly and have extensive experience defending all categories of road traffic charge within this court area.
Road Traffic Offences We Defend
Drink Driving and Drug Driving — Scotland's 50mg limit means many drivers are caught unaware. We challenge the evidence, procedure, and reliability of testing equipment. Dangerous Driving — a conviction carries a minimum 12-month disqualification and can result in imprisonment. We scrutinise the evidence and explore whether careless driving is more appropriate. Careless Driving — we assess whether the standard of driving genuinely fell below the required level. Speeding — we challenge speed camera evidence, device calibration, and NIP validity (must be served within 14 days). The A814 dual carriageway and the Erskine Bridge approach are regularly enforced routes. Totting Up and Exceptional Hardship — facing 12 or more penalty points? We prepare compelling applications to keep you driving. Driving Without Insurance — 6-8 points or discretionary disqualification. Mobile Phone Offences — 6 penalty points per conviction.
