Traffic and road sign violations

Failing to comply with the indication given by a traffic sign is an offence under section 36 of the Road Traffic Act 1988

The following is a none exhaustive list of some of the signs that are covered by this offence:

  • No entry
  • Double white lines
  • Stop at a major road ahead
  • Give way at a major road ahead
  • No 'U' turn
  • Mini roundabout sign
  • Arrow indicating direction to be followed

Failure to comply with any road traffic sign can result in a fine of up to £1000. However, a driver can be disqualified from driving or receive penalty points if they fail to comply with the following signs:

  • Stop
  • Traffic lights
  • No entry signs
  • Double white lines

Fortunately, there are exceptions and to succeed in any prosecution the prosecution must establish that the road signs were lawful.

Geoffrey Miller Solicitors have the expertise to advise you of any potential defences and scrutinise the lawfulness of any sign you are alleged to have contravened.

If there is a solution we will find it.

 

Punishment

A fine of up to £1000 and, in some cases, discretionary disqualification or 3 penalty points (see above).
