Do I have to go to Court?

Do I have to go to Court?

If the police have issued you with a Court Attendance Notice, yes. Otherwise, you will only have to go to Court if you elect to.

 

If you are convicted of 3 or more ‘major traffic offences’ (including ‘drink driving’) within a 5 year period, you will normally be declared a ‘habitual traffic offender’.

This means that the Roads and Maritime Services (formerly the ‘RTA’) will automatically add 5 years to the period of disqualification imposed by the court.

If you are in danger of being declared a habitual offender, our senior lawyers will work to persuade the Magistrate to ‘quash’ that declaration, so that the ‘RMS’ cannot impose the additional disqualification period.
