Dangerous Driving Offences

At Dylan Green & Associates Solicitors, we represent clients facing allegations of dangerous or careless driving under the Road Traffic Act 1961 (as amended). A conviction for dangerous driving can lead to severe consequences — including licence disqualification, substantial fines, imprisonment, and lasting damage to your record.

Our firm understands that even a momentary lapse in judgement can have serious legal and personal repercussions. That’s why we provide strategic advice, skilled representation, and compassionate guidance from the very first consultation.

Under Irish law, a person is guilty of dangerous driving if they operate a vehicle in a public place at a speed or in a manner likely to endanger the public, having regard to road, traffic, and weather conditions.

Common allegations include:

● Excessive speeding or racing
 

● Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
 

● Ignoring traffic lights or road signs
 

● Using a mobile phone while driving

● Driving a defective or unroadworthy vehicle
