Traffic Charges

In recent years, traffic law is becoming increasingly stricter on road users. This means that there are stronger traffic enforcements on road users and therefore, serious consequences if found to be guilty of infringing the rules. If you have been charged with a traffic offence, you will most likely be at risk of a heavy fine, suspension of your licence, or even imprisonment in more serious cases. Therefore, it is imperative that you seek advice from an experienced criminal lawyer to negotiate with the prosecution and represent you in court.

Our Perth Criminal Lawyers are experienced in dealing with a wide array of traffic matters which means our knowledge is interminable. Our team of criminal lawyers have represented clients for driving charges, drink driving charges, drug driving, refusal of breath test, speeding offences, reckless driving, dangerous driving, hoon driving, driver’s license applications, dangerous driving resulting in a death or bodily harm and much more pertaining to traffic law. Matters such as driving with a suspended licence, dangerous or reckless driving and other hoon associated charges are often heard in the Magistrates Court. On the other hand, more serious matters including reckless, dangerous or negligent driving resulting in death or bodily harm will be heard in the District Court.
