DriveProtect Saved Me from a Lengthy Ban and Covered My Costs!
By Jim Henderson
“Facing a ban and unsure if DriveProtect would come through, I was amazed by the quick and thorough support. They ensured I didn’t lose my license and even reimbursed me for my transport costs!“

DriveProtect Gave Me Peace of Mind When Facing a Ban
As a courier/driver, I spend a lot of time on the road. While I enjoy my work and being out there, I, like most people, have to stay alert for more than just other drivers and pedestrians. I’m also watching out for speed cameras, speed traps, average speed limits, and police cars!
I had already picked up a few points earlier in the year for speeding in a section of roadworks. After being stopped, I decided to get proactive and installed a sat nav with live traffic and speed trap updates. However, I still had concerns about getting caught off guard if I wasn’t paying full attention.
That’s when I first came across the DriveProtect website. At first, I was skeptical. The advertising looked great, and the service seemed even better—but I wasn’t completely convinced.
Then, in May, I had another close call and decided to give DriveProtect a try. After all, what did I have to lose except a small monthly payment for peace of mind?
I contacted DriveProtect, provided the details of my license and driving history, and set up the direct debit. I pretty much forgot about it after that.
Later in the year, I was stopped again. This time, I received more points than I expected. Then, almost a month later, I was stopped once again. Every time, it was by a covert speed camera hidden by an officer somewhere obscure.
If I had seen a police car or a bright yellow jacket, I would’ve slowed down, but by the time I noticed, it was too late. I was booked and processed.
I got in touch with DriveProtect right away. The process was much easier than I expected. I was advised to be represented by their legal team in court. When I met my barrister, she was confident, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job, even though the magistrate seemed to have already made up his mind.
I got banned. This was when I thought there might be some loophole that would prevent me from being covered.
But to my surprise, I was informed that DriveProtect would cover all my transport costs. I was still doubtful, so I collected all my train tickets and taxi receipts and sent them at the end of the month. Within a day, I received an email confirming that my receipts had been received and that my bank would be credited.
I’m still amazed. DriveProtect really does take care of its customers. The registration process was pain-free, the staff were super friendly, and their attention to detail was remarkable. If you drive, you need these guys on your side.
At last, I have a way of protecting myself against losing my licence.
I wholeheartedly recommend DriveProtect if you want to avoid having your life turned upside down by this country’s ridiculous points system.

DriveProtect Saved My Business and My License!
By Paul Sanderson
“Facing a potential 56-day driving ban after being caught at 110 mph, I thought my business was doomed. Thanks to DriveProtect and their amazing barrister, I walked away with a 7-day ban, no points, and my livelihood intact!”

DriveProtect Saved My Business!
What can I say about DriveProtect’s service apart from FANTASTIC?
Back in July, I was caught averaging 110.6 miles per hour on my motorcycle on the M6. The attending traffic officer, who seemed to relish his role as a “rent collector,” informed me that I was a menace to society. Apparently, riding on a bright and sunny Sunday morning, with barely any traffic, fully insured, taxed, MOT’d, and appropriately geared, made me a notorious criminal in his eyes.
He assured me that I was facing a lengthy driving ban. I suspect the real reason for his irritation was that my speed set off their camera alarm while they were napping under a bridge—and that it took them seven miles to catch me!
But I digress. Back to DriveProtect. A ban would have spelled disaster for my business. As a self-employed Motor Vehicle Technician covering 50,000–60,000 miles per year—and running a mobile marine engineering business in the Northwest—I depend on my license.
The moment I received the summons, I called DriveProtect. They assured me a barrister would represent me in court. On the morning of the hearing, I met Christine Hendrickson, my barrister, at 9 a.m. She reviewed the character references I’d prepared and meticulously planned my defense.
In Court
The two cases before mine didn’t exactly inspire confidence. One defendant received a six-month ban and a hefty fine. The other walked away with three points and a £250 fine. Things weren’t looking good.
Then Ms. Hendrickson took the floor. What can I say? AWESOME! I didn’t have to say a word, aside from pleading guilty.
The magistrates retired to deliberate, and when they returned…
- £285 fine
- £50 court costs
- £15 additional charges
- 7-day discretionary ban
- NO POINTS!
Yes, you read that right—no points on my license! I had braced myself for a minimum 56-day ban, a fine upwards of £800, and at least six points. Instead, I walked away with a minor fine and a one-week break from driving. I even found myself hiding a smile in court!
I can’t thank DriveProtect enough. They not only saved my license but also my livelihood. If you’re a driver or rider and value the freedom that comes with it, I can’t recommend DriveProtect highly enough.
Thanks again, Adam. DriveProtect works!
Best regards,
Paul Sanderson
DriveProtect: Expert Advice That Saves the Day!
By David Hall
“An NIP issued to my company seemed like trouble, but DriveProtect’s expert lawyers had the case withdrawn. Even better? They covered us personally, even though the policy wasn’t in the company’s name. Total lifesaver!”

Expert Advice That Works When You Need It
I use DriveProtect, and it’s been a lifesaver for me, my wife, and my business. Their savvy lawyers think of solutions you wouldn’t even dream of. It’s well worth the monthly fee for this kind of protection. When you need expert motoring offense advice, the answer is simple: go to the experts. They know their stuff, and the best part? Their advice is all covered by insurance.
In our case, an NIP (Notice of Intended Prosecution) was issued in my company’s name since the car was leased. We couldn’t accurately recall who the driver was at the time of the alleged offense. Thanks to DriveProtect’s lawyer, the case was successfully withdrawn.
Here’s the kicker: even though the policies weren’t in the company’s name but in our personal names, we were still covered! With two policies in place, DriveProtect came through for us when we needed them most. Thank goodness for their expertise!
Best regards,
David Hall
From Speeding Fine to Not Guilty—Thanks to DriveProtect!
By Steve Phillips
“Even though my offense happened before I joined, DriveProtect’s legal team went above and beyond. They postponed my case, guided me through my options, and I walked out of court with a ‘Not Guilty’ verdict. Peace of mind, guaranteed!”

Peace of Mind and a “Not Guilty” Verdict
I joined DriveProtect right at its launch and almost immediately sought advice about a camera speeding fine.
My situation was a bit unusual. I had already received the speeding fine and was in written discussions with the authorities about it. DriveProtect’s legal team swung into action, arranging for the whole matter to be postponed for a year, which immediately eased the pressure.
As it turned out, my alleged offense occurred before I became a DriveProtect member, meaning they technically didn’t need to get involved. But their commitment went beyond expectations. I had a detailed telephone conversation with theit legal expert, who clearly explained all my options.
When I attended court, the outcome was incredible—I was found Not Guilty! A total result!
I was so impressed with the outcome that I sent a (small) cheque to your legal team as a thank-you. To their credit, they hadn’t requested any payment, but I felt it was only fair.
Since then, I haven’t needed DriveProtect’s help again, but I’ve continued my membership for the invaluable peace of mind it provides. Thank you, DriveProtect!
Regards,
Steve Phillips
From Three Summonses to Peace of Mind
By John Eaton
“Three speeding offenses in three years should have left me with 9 points. Thanks to DriveProtect’s expert legal advice, I avoided prosecution and gained peace of mind—making their service an absolute necessity for me.”

Three Offenses, One Solution—DriveProtect
They say things happen in threes, and that was certainly true for me. Over three years, I received three speeding summonses—all for traveling at 36 mph in a 30 mph zone—and all within a mile of each other. To say I was irritated would be an understatement.
Without the legal assistance provided by DriveProtect, I’d be sitting on 9 points by now. However, thanks to their prompt and efficient advice, things turned out much better. On the last two summonses, their appointed legal team was extremely thorough, and I avoided prosecution entirely.
The peace of mind I gained from their clear, unequivocal advice was invaluable. It turned the already reasonable cost of DriveProtect into an absolute necessity for my insurance needs. DriveProtect isn’t just a luxury—it’s a lifesaver.
Thank you,
John Eaton
From 6-9 Points to No Charges—DriveProtect Came to the Rescue!

Early Christmas Gift, Thanks to DriveProtect
Speeding – Exceeding 50mph on a restricted road.
Following a conversation with the Police Prosecutor earlier today, I received written confirmation that all charges would be withdrawn at court on 17/11/2009, with no further action to be taken. The MCA Officer even confirmed they’d notify me personally of this decision.
I can’t thank DriveProtect enough! Penalty points between 6 and 9 were looming over me, but thanks to their lawyer, I avoided them entirely. Last Saturday, I drove 70 miles to personally thank my cousin Alfred and gifted him a bottle of wine for introducing me to DriveProtect.
Christmas has come early for me this year!
Thanks so much,

DriveProtect: A Lifesaver for Drivers Who Depend on Their License

“Facing the threat of 9 points, I turned to DriveProtect. Their expert handling of my case resulted in all charges being dropped—preserving my livelihood and my clean driving record!”

Peace of Mind for Drivers—Especially When Your Livelihood Is at Stake
I was facing the very real threat of 9 points on my license after being caught speeding and failing to fill out an essential form. With driving being my business, losing my license would have meant losing my ability to work—it would have been a disaster.
DriveProtect came through for me in a way I couldn’t have imagined. The case was dropped by the CPS, and I walked away with no points on my license, thanks to their expert handling of my situation.
What stood out the most was their professionalism and efficiency. From start to finish, everything was organized and well-handled. I was amazed by how quickly and smoothly the whole process went. The peace of mind I gained from knowing I had DriveProtect in my corner was invaluable.
I’ve been driving for over 40 years, and I’ve never had a speeding ticket until this incident. I’ve always maintained a clean license. Thanks to DriveProtect, I didn’t have to worry about reassessments or costly retraining programs. It was a wise investment, and I’d recommend DriveProtect to anyone who needs to safeguard their livelihood.

Case Withdrawn Thanks to DriveProtect’s Expertise

“Faced with a serious speeding offense, DriveProtect’s legal team took swift action, leading to the case being withdrawn. Their support made all the difference.“

From Serious Offense to Case Withdrawn—Thanks to DriveProtect
I received a notice stating that I had been recorded driving at 52 mph in a 30 mph zone. Naturally, I was concerned, as this was a serious offense that could lead to significant penalties.
I immediately passed the notice to the DriveProtect team, and their response was swift and reassuring. The prosecutor advised me that, given the seriousness of the offense, a fixed penalty wouldn’t suffice, and I would be taken to court.
DriveProtect’s legal team quickly took action, writing to the court to request more details, including photos and any additional evidence. Shortly after, we received a letter from the court stating that the case had been withdrawn.
I honestly don’t believe I could have achieved this outcome without the expertise and support of the DriveProtect team. Their professionalism made all the difference.
Thank you,
Jim
DriveProtect Uncovers Hidden Evidence and Saves My License
By Peter Hall
“Thanks to DriveProtect’s expert solicitor, I was able to have two speeding notices withdrawn. Their careful questioning uncovered that the police lacked evidence to support the allegations.“

Knowledgeable Legal Support That Uncovered Hidden Truths
The expertise and support I received from DriveProtect’s solicitor were truly invaluable in getting two speeding notices withdrawn. Thanks to their knowledge and the relevant questions they asked West Yorkshire Police, it quickly became clear that the police didn’t have the evidence to convict me of the two alleged offenses.
It’s concerning to think how many people may have simply accepted the points and fine for similar offenses, without realizing that the police might not have the necessary evidence to back up their claims.
DriveProtect’s legal team made sure that my case was thoroughly examined, and I’m grateful for their attention to detail. I would recommend DriveProtect to any motorist who values their license and peace of mind.

DriveProtect: My Lifeline for Saving Points and Staying on the Road
By Chris T
“From court victories to a speeding ticket close call, DriveProtect has been invaluable. Their expert legal advice saved me from points and costly mistakes, all while ensuring my livelihood stays intact.“

A Lifesaver for Drivers Who Rely on Their License
I’ve been a member of DriveProtect since nearly the start, and while I’m not necessarily a bad driver, I’ve certainly been lucky in the past not to get caught. As a self-employed taxi driver, I cover around 50,000 miles a year, and my license is crucial to my livelihood—no license means no driving, and no driving means no earnings!
The first time I used DriveProtect was when I was charged with failing to provide information about the driver of my vehicle. We had to go to court, but the barrister explained that I had been in hospital at the time of the alleged offense, and we won the case with no points—what a great result!
Recently, I had another close call. I was leaving a 30 mph zone and less than 20 yards from a sign indicating the end of the speed limit. I started to gently accelerate, assuming that the camera van across the road was meant to catch drivers entering the 30 mph zone. I thought, like many, that you could increase speed just before entering a higher limit. Turns out, I was wrong!
Matthew from DriveProtect quickly clarified the law for me. The rule is that you can’t exceed the speed limit until you’ve passed the sign, even if it’s just a few yards away. However, when coming from a higher speed limit, you must be under the limit by the time you pass the sign.
At first, the police refused to offer me the option of a course, but after Matthew sent a strong letter pointing out the law, they changed their stance and allowed me to attend the course—no points!
I can’t speak highly enough of the professional and friendly service provided by Matthew and the DriveProtect team. It’s worth every penny. They’ve saved me far more than the cost of the service, especially when you consider how much a barrister for a day would cost!
I wouldn’t be without DriveProtect, and I’m a very happy member.

DriveProtect Turns a Speeding Summons Into a Victory

Legal Expertise That Turned a Speeding Summons into a Perfect Outcome
I’ve been with DriveProtect for years, and my experience with them has been nothing short of exceptional. My case started with a speeding summons but turned into a “Not Providing Name of Driver” charge.
Matthew from DriveProtect provided me with detailed advice, which allowed me to defend myself in court. The result? The case was thrown out, and the original speeding charge was effectively subsumed by the “Driver’s Name” charge, meaning it went away entirely. A perfect result!
I can confidently say that without DriveProtect’s expertise, this outcome wouldn’t have been possible.
Thank you,

Expert Advice That Saved Points and Money
By Peter Daly
“Thanks to DriveProtect clear advice on the prosecution deadline rule, I avoided two fixed penalties and saved 6 points and £200 in the process.”
Read More
Reliable legal assistance that helped me save money
I’m fairly certain that Matthew saved me 6 points and £200 in two fixed penalties during my first year of DriveProtect membership—definitely paid for the membership!
Both incidents were due to the police failing to prosecute within the 6-month deadline for the alleged offenses, something I didn’t even know about until I spoke to Matthew.
His advice was clear: notify myself as the driver but don’t respond to the fixed penalty offers because the deadline to reply was beyond the 6-month prosecution limit. He did warn that there was a slight risk the “see you in court” letters might have been issued at the same time as the fixed penalty offers, but given the prosecution deadlines—September 24th for one case and early November for the other—I’m fairly confident I’ve dodged the bullets!
