Wilkinson's Road Traffic Offences

This work offers practitioners lucid analysis and expert guidance on what the law in the area of road traffic offences means and what procedures practitioners should follow. It contains flow charts for fixed penalty notice procedures, tabular summaries for complex areas and relevant sources.
