Frequently Asked Questions
In 1999 and again in 2013, Road Transport legislation was repealed and replaced by new legislation. This was part of the process of legislative reform attempting to unify nationwide transport legislation in the form of the Australian Road Rules.
Unlike many straightforward issues, driving legislation is extensive and clouded in complication from determining fault, offending conduct to the way fines and suspensions are enforced.
As a driver, there are many obligations with which you must comply (such as at an accident) and failure to do so can lead to further charges or disqualification periods.
There are strict timelines as to court elections which vary according to the circumstances. The court can impose lengthy disqualification periods and even jail for repeat/serious offenders.
That is why if you’ve been affected by a driving suspension, it is of absolute importance to seek the assistance of our criminal lawyers at Kells. Our team understands the complexities of driving laws in NSW and the potential consequences you may face. Whether you’re in Wollongong or anywhere in the Illawarra, we will do everything in our power to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
To ensure the best possible outcome for our clients, we use a very thorough and rigorous process from start to finish. We begin by carefully examining the circumstances that led to your driving suspension, meticulously analysing the case, and identifying any potential legal avenues to challenge or reduce the suspension.
Our team will work closely with you to protect your interests. We will explain the legal process, outline the potential consequences, and provide an honest assessment of your case.
