  • Will I lose my licence if I am charged with a traffic offence?

    Licence suspension is a possible consequence for certain traffic offences, but the outcome depends on the charge, your driving history, and the specific details of your case. Several factors influence whether you can keep your licence:

    • Demerit Points – NSW has a demerit points system. If you accumulate too many points within a set period, your licence may be suspended. The threshold varies by licence type.
    • Immediate Licence Suspension – Some offences, such as excessive speeding or drink driving, may trigger an immediate licence suspension, regardless of demerit points.
    • Habitual Offender Declaration – Multiple serious offences within a certain period may lead to being declared a "habitual offender," resulting in a prolonged disqualification.
    • Court-Imposed Penalties – For serious offences, like dangerous driving causing death, the court may impose severe penalties, including licence disqualification.

    The court considers each case individually, meaning legal representation can be critical in influencing the outcome. If you are concerned about the risk of losing your licence, our traffic offence lawyers in Fairfield can assess your situation and explore strategies to challenge the charge or seek a reduction in penalties.

  • What should I do if I am charged with a traffic offence?

    If you are facing a traffic offence charge, seeking legal advice immediately is crucial. Acting early can significantly influence the outcome, as delays may restrict available legal options, lead to harsher penalties, or even result in an immediate licence suspension.
