Traffic Lawyer Brisbane

Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious offence with significant penalties, including license disqualification, hefty fines, and potential jail time. DUI charges can also have long-term implications for your employment and personal life. These charges can arise from exceeding the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit or being impaired by drugs while driving.

Our experienced lawyers can guide you through the legal process and fight for the best possible outcome in your case. We will examine the evidence, such as breathalyser and field sobriety test results, challenge any procedural errors, and advocate for alternative sentencing options or reduced penalties. Our aim is to provide a solid defence to protect your rights and minimise the impact of the charges on your life.

Unlicensed driving or driving without a valid license or registration is illegal and can result in fines, demerit points, and potential vehicle impoundment. Operating an unregistered vehicle also means you may not be covered by insurance in the event of an accident, leading to further complications and expenses.

We can help you understand the legalities and explore options to rectify the situation and get you back on the road legally. Our team will assist you in addressing the underlying issues that led to the unlicensed or unregistered status, negotiate with authorities to reduce penalties and represent you in any required court appearances.

Dangerous driving can have severe consequences, including license disqualification and criminal charges. This traffic offence often involves driving at excessive speeds, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or engaging in reckless behaviour that endangers other road users. A conviction can result in significant fines, long-term license disqualification, and even imprisonment.

We offer strong legal representation to protect your license and fight for a fair resolution. Our team will thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your case, challenge any evidence presented against you, and work to minimise the impact of the charges.

Driving without due care, also known as careless driving, involves failing to exercise reasonable care while operating a vehicle. This can include actions such as improper lane changes, not paying attention to the road, or causing minor accidents. Penalties for careless driving typically include demerit points, fines, and potentially an increase in insurance premiums.

We can help you understand the charges and explore potential options to minimise the impact on your license. Our legal team will review the details of your case, provide clear advice on your options, and represent you in court to advocate for reduced penalties or dismissal of charges where possible.

License disqualification can be imposed for a variety of reasons, including accumulating too many demerit points, committing more serious traffic offences, or failing to pay fines. Losing your license can significantly impact your ability to work, manage personal responsibilities, and maintain independence.

If your license has been disqualified, we can assist you in appealing the decision and advocate for a reinstatement. Our team will evaluate the grounds for your disqualification, prepare a strong appeal, and represent you in court to argue for the reinstatement of your driving privileges.

Vehicle impoundment can occur as a consequence of certain traffic offences, such as reckless driving, driving under the influence, or operating a vehicle without a valid license. This can be highly inconvenient, especially if your vehicle is essential for your daily activities.

We can help you navigate the impoundment process to speed up the return of your vehicle. Our team will assist in filing necessary paperwork, negotiating with authorities, and representing you in any required hearings to ensure you regain access to your vehicle as quickly as possible.

If your license is suspended but you require driving privileges for work, you may be eligible for a work license, also known as a restricted or hardship license. This type of license allows you to drive under specific conditions, enabling you to continue working despite the suspension.

We can guide you through the process of obtaining a work license. Our legal team will help you understand the eligibility criteria, prepare your application, and represent you in court to advocate for the approval of your work license, ensuring you can continue to fulfil your job responsibilities.

Demerit points can accumulate quickly from various traffic violations, potentially leading to license suspension or disqualification. Managing your demerit point balance is crucial to maintaining your driving privileges. In some cases, you may be eligible to participate in State Penalties Enforcement Registry (SPER) courses, such as fatigue management or driver education programs, to reduce demerit points.

We can advise you on managing your demerit point balance and explore options like SPER programs to reduce points. Our team will provide guidance on the most effective strategies to maintain your driving record, including negotiating with authorities and representing you in court to seek reductions in penalties and point accumulation.
