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

    Losing your licence is a possibility for certain traffic offences, though it depends on the type of charge, your driving history, and the circumstances of your case. Here are key factors that can influence the outcome:


    • 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.

    Each case is assessed individually, and outcomes depend on legal arguments and court discretion. Our traffic offence lawyers in Hawkesbury can provide detailed legal advice on how a charge may affect your licence.

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

    If you’ve been charged with a traffic offence, getting legal advice as soon as possible is absolutely important because early intervention can make a massive impact on the outcome of your case. Delays may limit your legal options, increase the risk of severe penalties, or result in immediate licence suspension. Call 0410 593 059 to speak with our traffic offence lawyers.
