Traffic offences
Traffic offences encompass everything from minor offences like failing to indicate or failing to keep left, to serious offences such as dangerous driving and driving while disqualified.
Traffic offences are dealt with in the Magistrates Court, or by way of an infringement notice.
Licences
In some states and territories, a person can apply for a restricted licence if they have been disqualified from driving from traffic offences but need to retain their licence for a particular purpose, such as employment or caring for children. A restricted licence carries conditions that the driver must only use their motor vehicle for the specified purpose and is otherwise suspended from driving for a stated period.
Some traffic offences are the result of failing to adhere to licensing laws. These include failing to abide by the restrictions that apply to a learner’s permit or probationary licence and failing to abide by the conditions of a motorcycle licence.
Traffic accidents
Both criminal and civil law issues may arise out of a traffic accident. An accident may lead to charges such as dangerous or careless driving, driving under the influence (DUI), or failing to stop after an accident. It may also result in charges of more minor traffic offences if there were defects in the vehicle involved. A traffic accident may also result in a compensation claim or even in civil law litigation where personal injuries are sustained.
