Need help with Road Traffic Matters?

The laws in Western Australia regarding traffic and driving offences are becoming significantly more onerous. 

Offences against traffic laws can result in substantial fines, the disqualification, suspension or cancellation of your driver’s licence and, in serious cases, imprisonment. These laws are predominately found in the Road Traffic Act 1974 (WA). 

For example, a third conviction for an offence of driving under the influence of alcohol or refusing a breath test will result in a life time disqualification period. Police also have the power to impound a vehicle if they believe you have committed the offence of Reckless Driving. This includes wilfully driving at a high speed and/or in a manner which is inherently dangerous or, alternatively, dangerous to any person or the public in the circumstances. This includes speeding in excess of 45 km/h over the speed limit and driving a motor vehicle at 155 km/h or over.

If you are charged with a traffic offence, particularly a second or third offence, it is essential to engage an experienced traffic lawyer who will provide you with reliable and professional legal advice and representation.
