Being charged with a drug driving offence is undoubtedly a daunting and stressful time for you. It doesn't have to be, if you have the right representation.

The police will provide a medical report that indicates the amount and type of drug in your system. The amount and type of drug present will then determine the ultimate offence you are charged with, and whether or not an argument can be mounted that the amount and type of drug detected in your system would have resulted in you being "under the influence" whilst driving.

Engaging the best drug driving defence lawyers to support you through your case, can relieve the burden and ensure you get the best possible outcome. We can help you get back on the road sooner.

Driving without a licence is one of the most common matters we defend. It may affect your ability to travel to work and to hold a NSW drivers licence in the future.

​Drive while unlicensed/never licensed – s 53 Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW); or

Importantly, the laws relating to disqualification periods have recently changed in NSW.

Contact us today so we can assist you in these matters, and so you can be back on the road sooner, and looking forward to a better future.

Until recently, drivers in NSW were declared to be an habitual traffic offender if a NSW court convicted them of a relevant offence, and they had, in the previous five years, also been convicted of at least two other relevant offences, committed on separate occasions.

For habitual offenders, in order to avoid the obligatory 5 year disqualification period (on top pf that imposed for their most recent offence), they had to establish that the disqualification imposed by the declaration would be an unjust consequence having regard to their total driving record and the special circumstances of the case.

The laws relating to habitual traffic offender declarations has recently changed in NSW, as has the ability to have habitual traffic offender disqualification periods set aside.

Speak to us to determine how your circumstances apply to the current legislation and your best chance of having a declaration and/or disqualification period set aside.​​
