Short answer
Prepare the court papers, driving record, offence details, employment evidence, financial information, dependency evidence and any hearing date before asking for a quote.
What Exceptional Hardship Means In Practice
A totting-up ban can affect work, family and caring responsibilities. The court will need evidence, not just assertion, about the impact of a disqualification.
Evidence To Gather
The strongest preparation usually explains who is affected, why alternative travel is not enough and what documentary evidence supports the point.
- Court notice, charge or summons and hearing date.
- Driving record and points position.
- Employment contract, rota, employer letter or business evidence.
- Financial documents showing impact on income or dependants.
- Medical, caring or school-run evidence if relevant.
- Details of public transport, taxis or alternative drivers considered.
How A Barrister May Help

Urgency
If the hearing is close, include the date, court, offence, points position and evidence already available in the first enquiry.
