Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contest a traffic infringement in court?
Find Out MoreTo contest a traffic infringement, you must elect to take the matter to court by submitting a request to your state’s traffic authority before the deadline specified on your fine notice.
Once your court date is set, you’ll need to gather evidence, such as photographs, witness statements or any documentation supporting your case. Having legal representation helps present your argument effectively and ensures you understand the court process.
What happens if I don’t pay a traffic fine?
If you don’t pay a traffic fine by the due date, you may face additional penalties, including late fees, licence suspension or vehicle registration restrictions. In severe cases, unpaid fines may lead to legal action or court appearances. It’s crucial to address fines promptly or seek legal advice if you wish to dispute them.
Can traffic infringements affect my driving record?
Yes, most traffic infringements result in demerit points being added to your driving record. Accumulating too many points can lead to licence suspension or cancellation. However, in some cases, you may be eligible to appeal demerit points or negotiate alternative penalties, such as good behaviour bonds, to protect your record.
Can I appeal a licence suspension?
Learn MoreYes, you can appeal a licence suspension in certain circumstances, such as hardship or errors in the infringement notice. The appeal process typically involves submitting an application to the local court and attending a hearing. A lawyer can help prepare your case and present compelling arguments to the court, increasing your chances of a favourable outcome.
