What penalties could you be facing?
Many people underestimate the potential penalties associated with traffic charges. Depending on the offence, the maximum penalty may include:
Licence suspension or lengthy disqualification period
Significant fines or hefty fines
Court-ordered penalties and other penalties including imprisonment
A recorded conviction
Increased insurance costs
Long-term impact on employment and professional licences
For more serious traffic offences, including dangerous driving or repeat offences, the courts can impose imprisonment and refer matters beyond the Magistrates Court, including to higher courts such as the District and Supreme Courts.
Without proper legal representation, your life can be adversely affected far beyond the courtroom.
