Free, legal support on traffic and crime related matters
Have you been caught speeding, drink driving or committing a traffic offence?
Traffic Offences
Traffic offences fall under a highly complex area of the law. There are many ways you can receive a traffic fine, traffic offence or lose your licence, including being caught for:
- Speeding (either by police radar or a speed camera)
- Using a mobile phone while driving
- Ignoring traffic signals
- Failing to wear a seatbelt
- Drunk driving (driving under the influence of alcohol)
- Drug driving (driving under the influence of a prohibited substance)
- Reckless or negligent driving
- Driving while suspended or disqualified
In providing that advice, the Centre will:
- Give you information and explain what the offence means
- Advise you of the impact such an offence could have on your ability to continue driving
- Help you decide whether to plead guilty or not guilty
- Advise on the penalties that might apply
- Tell you how to prepare for your court appearance
- Answer questions about what to expect on the day
- Refer you to Traffic Offenders Programs in your area.
- If you are faced with serious consequences from a traffic offence we can refer you to the Local Legal Aid office or private solicitors.
Traffic Clinic at Wyong Local Court
On Monday mornings, a solicitor from the Centre is at the Wyong Local Court to provide advice and assistance to clients who have a traffic matter in court that day. This is a drop in service and you do not need to make an appointment.
If we cannot help you on the day, we will give you a referral to another legal service that may be able to provide you with assistance.
