Following a minor RTA recently, I've been driving a hire car. This afternoon I was told by the hire company that I don't need insurance if I'm just moving the car on and off my drive. That's as dodgy as any advice I've heard from an insurance company and in this post I explain why it's completely wrong.

One of the important tasks for your solicitor is to identify the issues in your case and obtain any evidence necessary to prove that your version of events is the correct one, not the prosecutors. Expert evidence can be the key to winning your trial but it is important to properly assess what the expert will prove before you can decide whether spending money is a good idea or not.

If you've ever been accused of speeding you might have just accepted the ticket but it's always worth checking that the speed camera is operating reliably and has produced a true record of your speed. In this case, we were able to show that the true speed of the vehicle was significantly lower than the police alleged.
