Mitigation. We Can Explore Ways To Help Reduce The Severity Of Your Motor Offence.

What Is Mitigation

Mitigation is the action of reducing the severity or seriousness of something. With regards to a motor offence, Mitigation could be used to help reduce the seriousness of a motor offence charge.

If you plead guilty to a motor offence, you can put forward mitigation to try and minimise the penalty. When you put forward a plea of mitigation, you are admitting to the motor offence but asking the courts to consider your personal circumstances.

Examples of Mitigation

When putting forward mitigation, we recommend mentioning some of the below:

• Family Circumstance
• Employment
• The reason why you committed the offence

Character references are particularly effective when putting forward mitigation. Below are some examples of who to consider when getting a character reference:

• Family Friend
• Professionals ( such as doctors ).
• Your employer
• Family Member
• Your co-workers
