“After being accused of driving whilst on a mobile phone, I contacted Joe @ Scottish Driving Law. Sitting on 10 points, I was in danger of getting banned through the totting up procedure. From day 1 Joe made me feel at ease with his knowledge. The outcome was amazing. 2 mins in court and Joe had the case admonished. Brilliant work from a very clever guy.”
– Graham Lennox, Ayr Justice of the Peace Court
