Traffic Charges

It is important to get legal advice if you are charged with a traffic offence such as drink driving.

Most driving charges attract a mandatory disqualification, which can put your employment in jeopardy or make it difficult to carry out daily tasks. In some circumstances, your vehicle could also be confiscated and sold. 

If you are convicted of driving with a very high breath/blood alcohol level or you have two convictions for drink-driving within five years, then you will have to apply for an alcohol interlock licence before you can drive again.  

Glen can advise you on whether you have a defence to a traffic charge.  Should you choose to plead guilty Glen will strive to secure the best sentence for you.

Glen will advise you on:

• Whether you can avoid a disqualification or reduce the length of it.

• Whether you can apply for a Limited Licence.

• Whether your car is subject to confiscation, and if so, whether there are grounds to avoid confiscation.

• The process for obtaining an alcohol interlock licence (if applicable).

• How to have the alcohol interlock device removed when you are eligible to do so.

• Whether you can avoid having to apply for an alcohol licence because of your personal circumstances.
