Common questions about traffic law matters

Can you help if my licence is about to be suspended?

Yes. It is important to get advice as early as possible. In NSW and the ACT, there may be options depending on the type of suspension and your circumstances, including in some cases electing a good behaviour period instead of a demerit point suspension if you hold a full ACT licence.

Can I dispute a traffic fine?

Yes, in some cases. NSW and ACT Policing states that if you have been served with a Traffic Infringement Notice or Reminder Notice, you may lodge a notice to dispute liability, or apply for an extension of time to dispute liability, within 28 days of service.

Should I get legal advice before my court date?

Yes. Getting advice early can help you understand your position, prepare properly and make informed decisions before your matter is heard.

What if I need my licence for work?

If your licence affects your ability to work, it is especially important to get advice as soon as possible. In some ACT cases, a restricted licence application may be available, but the court applies a strict test and timing matters.

Can you help if I was involved in a car accident?

Yes. If a car accident has led to a traffic charge, licence issue or court matter, we can provide clear advice on your options and next steps. If you are also dealing with an injury or need advice about a compensation claim, you can learn more on our Personal Injury and Workers Compensation page.
