Inconsiderate Driving - Motoring Offence

If you drive without reasonable consideration for other road users and/or pedestrians you are likely to be found guilty of the offence of inconsiderate driving.

Common examples are splashing or drenching pedestrians when driving through puddles, “tailgating”, pulling in front of another road user in a manner that causes them to brake, or unnecessarily using/”hogging” a lane on the motorway.

This is an offence where the police frequently make mistakes when gathering evidence and so legal advice from an expert is essential.
