Common traffic law issues our Gold Coast lawyers regularly get great results in

Our traffic lawyers on the Gold Coast have a depth and breadth of knowledge in traffic law matters in Queensland. Their experience and skill means you are in the right hands to protect your future. Here are some of the most common matters they come across and regularly get great outcomes for.

Being pulled over by the police

Drivers are required to comply with police instructions to pull over to the side of the road for breath and swab tests, questioning, or even searches in some cases. You could be fined over $20,000 (at the time of writing) or imprisoned for up to three years for failing to cooperate. Additionally, you could also be disqualified from driving for two years. Further penalties could arise from material discovered during vehicle searches.

Our traffic lawyers on the Gold Coast regularly consult with new clients with issues relating to being pulled over by police. Drawing on their knowledge and excellent research skills, as well as being led by Accredited Criminal Law Specialist, Mitchell Cavanagh, the team put our clients at ease.

Our Gold Coast lawyers regularly attend court for our traffic law clients. With decades of combined experience representing our clients in the Queensland Magistrates, District and Supreme Courts, your traffic law cases is in capable hands.

Driving without a licence

Many people are caught driving without a licence and the police can press severe fines or criminal charges without the intervention of a lawyer.

There are two types of offences in Queensland related to driving without a licence:

1. ‘Unlicensed driving’ which occurs when you are caught driving while your licence is suspended, expired, when you are holding the wrong licence, or you do not have a licence; and
2. ‘Disqualified driving’ which is a more serious offence and happens when the driver has been convicted of drug or drink driving, dangerous driving, or any criminal offence involving a vehicle.

If you are a first-time unlicensed driving offender, the police can choose to issue you with an infringement notice and fine you up to $4,554. You have 28 days after receiving the notice to pay or dispute the fine in court or with the police.

The strict time limits means it is essential to seek qualified legal advice as soon as possible. Our traffic lawyers on the Gold Coast regularly correspond with police, reducing fines and charges for our clients.

At Go To Court Lawyers Gold Coast, we understand that having your licence suspended can cause all sorts of problems for you and your family. We have helped many clients apply successfully for Special Hardship Licences and Restricted Licences to reduce the impact of disqualification on work.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to apply for one of these special licences to continue driving after having your licence suspended. Contact us on 1300 636 846 for a free assessment on whether you are eligible.
