At Tank Jowett, our specialist criminal defence team is currently representing a client charged with Death by Dangerous Driving, one of the most serious and life-changing allegations under UK road traffic law.
Our client, a professional driver acting in the course of his employment, is accused of driving at excessive speeds before allegedly colliding with a pedestrian who tragically later passed away. The consequences of such allegations are severe, with the potential for lengthy imprisonment, loss of licence, and long-term professional implications — which is why expert representation is essential.
This case is highly technical and involves multiple strands of evidence that must be rigorously analysed. Tank Jowett’s defence team is undertaking a comprehensive investigation to ensure every aspect of the prosecution’s case is challenged effectively.
Accident reconstruction plays a critical role in understanding the circumstances of the collision. Leading accident reconstruction specialists have been instructed to analyse vehicle positioning, stopping distances, road layout and lighting, pre-impact speed estimates, and visibility. This scientific and precise analysis is essential for providing a clear and objective assessment of the incident.
In addition, independent collision investigation experts are reviewing vehicle damage, impact angles, brake-reaction timing, pedestrian trajectory, and environmental or road hazards. Their detailed reports provide crucial insight into whether the collision could have been avoided and form an essential part of our defence strategy.
Furthermore, digital and telematics evidence is being meticulously scrutinised. This includes vehicle telematics, GPS and speed logs, CCTV footage, mobile phone data, dash-cam recordings, and ANPR systems. By carefully analysing this data, our team ensures that every piece of evidence used against our client is accurate, reliable, and correctly interpreted.
As a professional driver, our client’s circumstances require careful consideration. Factors such as route planning, work schedule, fatigue, employer policies, and vehicle load and condition are all taken into account to provide context and challenge assumptions about alleged dangerous driving.
The defence team at Tank Jowett is led by Partner Adnan Hussain with highly experienced barrister Warwick Aleeson of 25 Bedford Row Chambers instructed to represent our client in court.
