DUI Offences
DUI offences involve driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Penalties can include fines, license suspension, and jail time. Knowing the consequences is vital for responsible driving.
EXPERIENCED TRAFFIC LAWYERS
Drugged driving involves driving with traces of drugs in your system, such as THC (the active ingredient in marijuana), MDMA (contained in "ecstasy"), amphetamines (ice) or cocaine. Unlike a DUI charge, the prosecution does not need to prove that you were actually under the influence of drugs at the time of driving - simply having drugs in your system is enough.
From May 20, 2019, police have the power to issue penalty notices with a total fine of $561 and impose a direct penalty of a three-month driver's licence suspension.
Facing charges can be stressful and unsettling, but you can trust our experienced defense team to ensure the best possible outcome for your case.

If the laboratory analysis returns a positive reading, a penalty notice will be issued.
The lab analysis is a secondary test that is performed after the initial roadside “lick test.”
Plead guilty but hope to persuade the court to grant a Section 10 Dismissal or Conditional Discharge Order (not guilty) so that you are not fined or disqualified from your licence.
If you plead not guilty and the case is successfully dismissed, there will be no conviction recorded against your name and no penalties will be imposed. If you plead not guilty, it is important to prepare your case thoroughly to maximise the chances of a non-conviction order, as the court may still put a criminal record on your name if the order is not granted.
