Types of charges

- Failing to stop or ascertain injury after an accident
Key issues in drink driving cases
Drink driving cases often turn on whether the correct testing procedures were followed by Police. There are specific legal requirements around how breath and blood alcohol tests must be administered, and errors in this process can, in some cases, provide grounds to challenge the charge.
Limited licences and disqualification
If you have been disqualified from driving, or are at risk of losing your licence due to accumulated demerit points, you may be able to apply for a limited licence allowing you to drive for essential purposes such as work. Understanding your eligibility and the application process is an important part of managing the practical impact of a driving conviction.
Why early advice matters
Because many people rely on a driver's licence for employment, understanding your options, including whether the charge itself can be challenged, and what disqualification or limited licence outcomes may apply, is important as early as possible.
