A traffic or driving offence penalty is much more than just an inconvenience

We understand that minor offences, which can result in a fine or a temporary loss of licence, can have a significant financial and personal impact on your life, employment and future.

Unfortunately, even minor offences can have a much greater impact on your future.

Subsequent charges of any traffic or driving offences, even minor charges, can lead to more serious penalties including lengthy community corrections orders or custodial sentences, that is jail.

The Road Safety Act deals with recurring traffic and driving offences by imposing harsher penalties with each subsequent charge.

If you have been charged, or previously charged, with a traffic or driving offence, we can help protect your future and have the experienced required to ensure you can avoid or minimise any penalties, including in some circumstances, criminal conviction.
