TRAFFIC COURT

    Professional legal advice in Traffic Law

    TRAFFIC

    There are many situations on the road that can bring you to the attention of the police. However, even some minor traffic matters can seem unjust and you may want to defend them.

    The more serious traffic charges are dealt with in the Criminal Court, such as:
    • Drink Driving
    • Driving While Disqualified
    • Dangerous Driving
    • Careless Driving
    • Sustained Loss of Traction (Burnouts)
    Some of the above offences carry a mandatory (compulsory) loss of your driver’s licence. If you have been charged with one (or more!) of the above offences call John Holdaway for advice on the various ways of dealing with your case, be it defending the case if practical or mitigating the offence and making applications that can possibly keep you on the road.

    LIMITED LICENCES / WORK LICENCES

    If you have already been suspended or disqualified or are about to be suspended or disqualified John Holdaway can help you apply for a Limited Licence sometimes called a Work Licence, provided that you qualify for one. There are criteria you must meet before an application can be made. Call John to discuss your situation.

    If you do qualify for a limited licence then John can draft and file the application and most importantly provide representation in Court when the application is heard by the Judge.
    A Limited Licence is a privilege, not a right. If you need to apply for a limited licence it pays to do it once and do it right.

    John brings a wealth of local knowledge and years of experience in negotiating with the police to obtain limited licences with reasonable terms that will alleviate the hardship that losing your licence may bring.

    THIRD OR SUBSEQUENT CHARGES

    If you have lost your licence two or more times previously for the same type of offence and you have been charged again, then you definitely need legal advice. The Court takes repeat-offending seriously and there are serious consequences.
