Carl Millar recently represented Mr T at Newcastle under Lyme Magistrates Court in Staffordshire. Mr T already had 6 endorsable penalty points on his licence. The accusation was that he was travelling up to 120mph and he was obviously concerned that he would receive a further 6 points which meant that he could be disqualified under the totting up procedure. Normally, the magistrates would disqualify a defendant for a minimum period of 6 months under the totting up procedure if 12 penalty points or more are accumulated within a 3 year period. Carl Millar was able to persuade the magistrates to disqualify the defendant based upon the single offence alone and he was disqualified for a short period of 14 days.
