What should I do if my licence has been suspended?

Traffic laws in New South Wales are strict, and even small mistakes can lead to extended disqualification periods or further penalties. Suspensions can occur for a variety of reasons, including exceeding the demerit point threshold or being charged with serious traffic offences. Once suspended, drivers must meet all legal obligations, including strict appeal deadlines. Missing these deadlines can limit your ability to challenge the decision. For more serious offences or repeat breaches, courts may impose longer suspension periods or, in some cases, a term of imprisonment. If your licence has been suspended in Kiama, it is important to seek advice quickly. Our Kiama driving suspension lawyers can review your case and advise whether you have grounds for an appeal or options to reduce the disqualification period under current traffic laws.

What is your process for handling suspended licence cases?

We start by carefully reviewing the circumstances of your suspension and your driving history. From there, we assess whether you are eligible to appeal or apply for a reduction in the disqualification period. Throughout the process, we keep you informed, outline what to expect at each stage, and assist with preparing the necessary documents and submissions for court. Our goal is to reduce the disruption caused by losing your licence and help you move towards regaining your ability to drive as soon as possible.
