Failure to Stop Laws

Drivers have a duty to stop and provide information if they are involved in a road traffic accident, whether it has caused damage to a car or property or injury to a person.

Possible punishments for being found guilty of failing to stop include:

• Up to six months imprisonment
• Disqualification from driving
• A maximum £5,000 fine
• 5-10 penalty points on your licence

However, the help of an expert solicitor can help mitigate and sometimes avoid these penalties.
