FAQ
Traffic Law FAQs
What should I do if I’ve been charged with a traffic offence in Victoria?
Seek legal advice immediately. A traffic lawyer can explain the charges, outline your options, and help you minimise penalties or retain your licence.
Can I lose my licence for a traffic offence?
Yes. Depending on the offence — such as drink driving, speeding, or driving while disqualified — you may face licence suspension, cancellation, or disqualification.
Will a traffic offence appear on my criminal record?
Some traffic offences, like drink driving or driving while suspended, are criminal offences and may appear on your record. Others, like minor speeding fines, usually do not.
What are the penalties for drink driving in Victoria?
Penalties can include licence disqualification, heavy fines, mandatory alcohol interlock devices, and possible jail time for repeat offenders. The severity depends on your BAC level and prior offences.
Can I contest a speeding fine or traffic charge?
Yes. You may challenge a traffic fine or charge if you believe it was issued unfairly or in error. A traffic lawyer can assess your case and represent you in court.
What is a good behaviour bond for traffic offences?
If you’re at risk of losing your licence due to demerit points, you may be eligible for a good behaviour option that allows you to continue driving under strict conditions.
What happens if I drive while suspended or disqualified?
Driving while suspended or disqualified is a serious offence in Victoria. It can result in further disqualification periods, large fines, and possible imprisonment.
Do I need a lawyer for a traffic matter in court?
While not always required, having a traffic lawyer can significantly improve your outcome — especially for serious matters like careless driving, drug driving, or dangerous driving.
Can a traffic lawyer help me keep my licence?
Yes. An experienced traffic lawyer may be able to help you avoid or reduce disqualification, obtain a work licence (in some jurisdictions), or negotiate a lighter sentence.
How much does a traffic lawyer cost in Melbourne?
Costs vary based on the complexity of your case and the court involved. Many lawyers offer fixed-fee pricing for straightforward matters and will outline costs upfront.
