Useful articles for our Southport clients

These articles can give you a general understanding of some of the issues surrounding traffic offences. But when it comes to navigating the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 and appearing in court to plead your case there is no substitute for having one of our experienced Southport traffic lawyers by your side.

Traffic issues you may face

The most important thing to know about traffic offences is what form of penalty can apply in your situation and what you can do to minimise the hardship it may cause you. Our Southport traffic lawyers are experts at advising clients on these important issues.

Driving unlicensed

Driving unlicensed is never a good idea. But what you may not know is that there are different types of unlicensed driving. Driving while not holding a current licence is considered a simple offence and attracts a lower level of penalty. While driving with your licence suspended or when you are disqualified from driving will usually attract a harsher penalty. This includes mandatory periods of disqualification for longer terms.

Our Southport traffic lawyers can advise you on the possible penalties of your unlicensed driving and what sort of result you can expect from going to court. They can also help you present your case in the best possible light, convincing the court of the reasons why you should not be punished as harshly. For more general information, read our article on unlicensed driving in Queensland or contact our no-obligation Legal Hotline.

Restricted licences

Losing your licence for any period of time can be a significant problem for you and your family, and can possibly threaten your livelihood. Some drivers found guilty of traffic offences may be able to apply for a special restricted licence to allow them to continue driving to work while disqualified.

Our expert traffic lawyers in Southport can help assess the circumstances of your case and put forward a persuasive argument before the courts as to why you should qualify for a restricted licence.

Certain conditions will apply to when and how you can drive under the restricted licence. Your dedicated traffic lawyer can assist in ensuring that these conditions are not overly onerous on you. They can also advise you on the consequences of breaching the restrictions, which can include additional suspensions and the cancellation of your restricted licence. See our article on restricted licences in Queensland for more information.
