Losing your licence is a possible outcome for certain traffic offences in Sydney. However, the likelihood depends on factors like the offence type, your driving history, and your case’s circumstances. Key points include:

• 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.

Please note that each case is unique, and the specific penalties and consequences will depend on individual circumstances and the court’s discretion. Our traffic offence lawyers at Kells Sydney can provide detailed guidance on how a charge may affect your licence.
