Traffic Offences

On the road, certain things are unavoidable and sometimes beyond our control. However, where drinking, drugs or careless driving are involved, some things are not considered to be accidents under the law.
All traffic offences, whether they are drink driving, drug driving offences, or even speeding offences, should be taken seriously. Traffic matters are taken very seriously by the Courts and the penalties and potential consequences of these offences can be devastating. You may face significant fines or even be sentenced to imprisonment. Many traffic offences include mandatory minimum licence disqualification periods which could result in inability to care for your family or loves ones or the loss of your employment, depending on what you do for a living.
