Governments in Australia are constantly increasing penalties for drink driving and traffic offences. These penalties include a loss of your licence, heavy fines, demerit points and other court orders and restrictions. These penalties can have a very serious impact on your work and personal life and are something you should take very seriously.
Collins & Thompson are experienced traffic lawyers based in Hornsby who have an extensive professional record in representing people charged with drink driving offences (also known as DUI or DWI). Drunk driving convictions can have a serious affect on your employment prospects and it is vital that you receive professional legal help as soon as possible.
How Collins & Thompson can Help
It is often possible to challenge a drink driving charge on a number of grounds. For example, a breathalyser can be defective and produce an excessive blood alcohol content reading (BAC). The police also have a number of very strict rules that they must follow to sustain a DUI charge. If the police have failed to observe these requirements, a BAC level can be legally questionable and assist in having a drink driving charge dismissed.
Our firm has also assisted drivers who have been photographed speeding. There have been recent documented cases of defective RTA speed cameras and you should contact us if you believe that you have been wrongly issued a speeding ticket. Additionally, we can advise you on dealing with a decision to challenge a speeding fine in court and how to explain unusual situations as defences to a speeding ticket. There can also be instances where you can recover the costs of going to court.
Collins & Thompson can also assist motorists in lessening the impact of traffic penalties. We have an extensive background in advising and representing clients in licence suspension appeals. Maintaining a licence is a necessity for many people as they are often required to drive as part of their employment. Collins & Thompson can assist by appearing for you in court to challenge a licence suspension or push for the court to impose a lower penalty or reduce the number of demerit points applied to your drivers licence.
