    Default trying to keep my licence!?

    If anybody say my previous threads i've sorted my Germany in 5 weeks problem.... my girlfriend is now doing the driving lol. Not the best option but its better than cancelling the holidayicon and not going at all.

    So, next thing is trying to keep my licence so i think im going to go down the court route now. I've been reading up on mitigation and a traffic offence law firm has offered to "prepare my mitigation in full and present it to the court" for £250 + VAT. From what i understand from what i've red on the internet its just a letter explaining what difficulty its going to cause me to loose my licence with my job in the "current financial climate" ect.

    i just want opinions on whether people think that is a reasonable price for what i am getting or if you know of any other cheaper way around it?

    Haven't seen the letter so how can we comment. If its based on hardship it has to be hardship to others not you - you are supposed to be penalised.

    If the solicitor wants £250 plus VAT, (that's £287.50!)

    It could well be cheaper going back to provisional and passing your test again. Theory costs £31 and your practical is £62 making £93 Add in the cost of a few hours instruction maybe to get you back up to the "proper" standard at about £20 an hour and you could probably get it all done in about 3 weeks for £160 or so.

    after-thought.
    Do you have to pay them the 287 quid whether they manage to talk the court into letting you keep your license or not? If so, sounds like a huge risk and I think I'd go for the re-test route.
