Understanding Traffic Law

Traffic regulations and laws are designed to ensure the safety of all road users, encompassing a wide range of offences from traffic infringements such as speeding, to low range drink driving offences and dangerous driving resulting in grievous bodily harm or death. These laws not only aim to penalise the offender but also to educate and rehabilitate, thereby contributing to the overall safety of the community.

Traffic offences in Australia are categorised based on their severity and each category carries its own set of penalties.

These may include:

• Fines

• Demerit point loss

• Licence suspension

• Imprisonment

Being issued with penalties or having a serious criminal charge laid, can be confusing. The differences between an infringement notice and a Court attendance notice, or the implications of accumulating demerit points beyond the allowable limit can contain nuances that those unfamiliar with the complexities of the law, may find stressful. An expert and experienced traffic lawyer can provide clarity and guidance, ensuring that you are fully informed of your rights, responsibilities and options.

If you have been charged with a traffic offence, it is essential that you act promptly and seek legal advice and representation.
