Traffic Law
Traffic Law Advice When Your Licence Is on the Line
Traffic charges can have serious, long-term consequences. For many people, losing a licence doesn’t just mean an inconvenience — it affects employment, family responsibilities, and daily life. Fines, demerit points, disqualification, and even imprisonment are real risks, particularly for repeat or serious offences.
At Sizo Legal, we help clients deal with traffic offences quickly and strategically. We provide clear advice, realistic expectations, and strong representation aimed at protecting your licence, your record, and your future wherever possible.
How We Help With Traffic Law Matters
Traffic matters move fast, and early action can make a meaningful difference. Our role is to assess your situation properly, explain your options in plain language, and take decisive steps to achieve the best possible outcome.
We assist with:
- Speeding offences and excessive speed charges
- Drink driving and drug driving matters
- Licence suspensions, cancellations, and appeals
- Dangerous or careless driving allegations
- Driving without a licence or while disqualified
- Heavy vehicle and commercial driving offences
- Court representation for serious traffic charges
- Removal of lifetime disqualification application
- Removal of more than three years disqualification for a single offence
- Extra Ordinary driver’s licence application
Drink Driving & Drug Driving Charges
Charges involving alcohol or drugs are treated seriously by the courts and can result in mandatory disqualification, fines, criminal records, and in some cases imprisonment.
We provide guidance on:
- Low, mid, and high-range drink driving charges
- Drug driving and roadside testing matters
- First offences and repeat offences
- Licence disqualification periods and interlock conditions
- Court appearances and penalty minimisation
We’ll explain what you’re facing, what can be challenged, and what outcomes are realistically achievable in your circumstances.
Licence Suspensions & Appeals
Losing your licence can have immediate and significant consequences, especially if you rely on driving for work or family commitments.
We assist with:
- Appealing licence suspensions or disqualifications
- Demerit point matters
- Applications for extra ordinary driver’s licence (for work or medical reasons)
- Representing you in court to argue exceptional hardship
Our focus is on helping you retain your ability to drive where the law allows, or minimising the impact if suspension is unavoidable.
Removal of lifetime disqualification application
When a person receives a life disqualification, they are not permitted to hold or apply for a driver’s licence ever again, unless the disqualification is removed. The application for removal of lifetime disqualification can only be made after waiting for at least ten years from the date of disqualification.
We assist with:
- Lifetime disqualification removal applications
- Representation in court
- Liaison with the Department of Transport
Dangerous & Careless Driving Allegations
Allegations of dangerous or careless driving can escalate quickly and may carry criminal penalties, not just traffic fines.
We help clients facing:
- Dangerous driving charges
- Careless driving causing damage or injury
- Police allegations following accidents
- Court proceedings involving serious driving conduct
These matters require careful handling. We assess the evidence, identify weaknesses in the prosecution case, and represent you firmly in court.
Commercial & Heavy Vehicle Matters
Professional drivers and commercial licence holders often face higher stakes. A traffic conviction can affect employment, accreditation, and future work opportunities.
We act for:
- Truck and heavy vehicle drivers
- Rideshare and delivery drivers
- Commercial licence holders
- Employers dealing with driver compliance issues
Our advice takes into account both the legal outcome and the practical impact on your livelihood.
