Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need a Lawyer for a Traffic Offence in Queensland?
Not every traffic offence requires a lawyer in Queensland, but for charges that carry licence disqualification, imprisonment, or a criminal record, legal representation significantly improves your chances of a better outcome. A traffic lawyer can identify defences you may not be aware of, negotiate with prosecutors, and present mitigation that reduces penalties.
What Happens If I Am Caught Drink Driving for the First Time?
A first-time drink driving offence in Queensland typically results in a fine and a licence disqualification period. The exact penalty depends on your BAC reading. Low-range offences (0.05 to 0.099) usually attract a fine and 1 to 9 months disqualification. Higher readings carry larger fines, longer disqualification, and the possibility of imprisonment. A traffic lawyer can often achieve a more favourable outcome than self-representation.
Can I Still Drive If My Licence Is Suspended?
In some circumstances, yes, you can still drive if your license is suspended. Queensland law allows you to apply for a special hardship order if you can demonstrate that the loss of your licence causes extreme hardship to you or your family. A work licence may also be available if you need to drive for employment. Strict eligibility criteria apply, and you need to make the application within set timeframes.
How Much Does a Queensland Traffic Lawyer Cost?
We offer competitive fixed fees for most traffic law matters, so you know the cost before we start. The exact fee depends on the complexity of your case and whether it proceeds to a defended hearing. We provide a clear quote at your free initial consultation.
What Is the Difference Between a Work Licence and a Special Hardship Order?
A work licence allows you to drive only for work-related purposes during a drink or drug driving disqualification. A special hardship order is broader and can cover driving for work, medical appointments, or family care responsibilities during a demerit point or other non-drink-driving suspension. Different eligibility rules apply to each.
Will a Traffic Offence Give Me a Criminal Record?
Some traffic offences are criminal offences in Queensland, including drink driving, drug driving, dangerous driving, and driving while disqualified. A conviction for these offences will appear on your criminal history. Other offences like speeding and running a red light are regulatory infringements and do not create a criminal record. If you are facing a criminal traffic charge, it is important to get legal advice.
