What are the penalties for drink driving (PCA or DUI)?
In New South Wales, penalties for driving under the influence or PCA drink driving will vary depending on a number of factors. Low range and first time offences have more lenient penalties, but higher range and repeat offences can have very serious consequences. Minor offences can result in fines, education programs or short periods of licence suspension. More serious offences may have consequences including licence disqualification, interlock orders, large fines or even imprisonment. Working with a skilled traffic lawyer can help you present your case in the best light, which can have a significant impact on the outcome of your matter.
What should I do if my licence is suspended or disqualified in New South Wales?
It’s important to check why your licence has been suspended or disqualified, and get legal advice about any appeal rights you may have, court options or alternative penalties. You may be able to apply for a licence appeal in the Parramatta Local Court, depending on the reasons for suspension or disqualification.
Can I fight a speeding fine?
Yes, depending on the circumstances. You may be able to challenge the accuracy of the speed detected, or raise issues related to signage of the area, procedural errors or incorrect driver identification. For some matters, you may be able to take the matter to court and have the evidence tested, rather than just paying the fine. There are also options for community based orders for people facing financial hardship, such as Work and Development Orders (WDO).
What are the consequences of reckless or dangerous driving charges?
In New South Wales, reckless and dangerous driving are treated seriously and can result in heavy fines, licence disqualification and even imprisonment. Courts assess matters based on the level of risk created, as well as conditions of the road and any previous driving history.
