Why engage a solicitor for a motoring offence?
Discussion
Firstly, apologies to any PH solicitors, this post is not trying to undermine the excellent job I'm sure you all do...
However:-
Following on from the 124mph in a 50 thread, and others of a similar nature,....the general advice seems to be get the best solicitor you can afford.
My question is what is the point?
I'm sure all you can reasonably do is have a decent shower, don best suit and shoes, sound contrite, grovel to the judge/magistrate, explain how very very sorry you are, it was a bright dry clear day, it's your first offence etc, you need your licence because you have a wife and three kids at home, and to lose your job would be catastrophic.
What more could a good solicitor do, other than try to get you off on a technicality Nick Freeman style?
What you save on a brief, might pay for your hefty fine.
I understand in a divorce case a good solicitor could be worth their weight in gold in certain circumstances, but we are talking about speeding here.
