After a run in with the traffic police issuing a ‘driving with incorrect license’ charge to myself david was very quick on the case and was able to clarify where I stood. He has helped me resolve the matter in what i would consider an incredibly quick turn around going above and beyond to fight my corner and issue with the advice needed to challenge the charge.
