New South Wales Traffic Law FAQs

Common questions about NSW drink driving, Section 10 dismissals, and licence suspension appeals

Can I get a work licence if I'm charged with drink driving in NSW?
No. NSW does not have work licences or restricted licences like Queensland. If you're disqualified in NSW, you cannot drive at all during the disqualification period. However, we can help minimize your disqualification period and explore other options like appealing a licence suspension or applying for a Section 10 dismissal.
What is a Section 10 dismissal in NSW?
A Section 10 dismissal allows the court to find you guilty but not record a criminal conviction. This is a powerful option in NSW that can preserve your clean record, avoid licence disqualification, and protect your employment and future opportunities. We have extensive experience securing Section 10 outcomes for drink driving and traffic matters across NSW courts.
What are the drink driving penalties in New South Wales?
NSW drink driving penalties depend on your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and prior history. Low range PCA (.05-.079) may result in automatic licence suspension and fines. Mid range PCA (.08-.149) typically means immediate licence suspension and court-imposed disqualification. High range PCA (.15+) leads to immediate licence suspension, lengthy disqualification, heavy fines, and potential imprisonment. We help minimize penalties and explore all available defences.
Can I appeal a licence suspension in NSW?
Yes. If your licence has been suspended by police or Transport for NSW (due to demerit points or other reasons), you may be able to appeal the suspension in the Local Court. Time limits apply, so it's crucial to act quickly. We regularly handle licence suspension appeals across all NSW courts and can advise on your prospects of success.
Do you attend courts throughout New South Wales?
Yes. We regularly appear in all 137 NSW Local Courts from Sydney Downing Centre and Parramatta to Newcastle, Liverpool, Penrith, Wollongong, Gosford, and regional courts throughout the state. We understand local court procedures and have relationships with magistrates across New South Wales.
What is an alcohol interlock device and do I need one?
An alcohol interlock is a breath-testing device installed in your vehicle that prevents it from starting if alcohol is detected. In NSW, interlocks are mandatory for certain drink driving offences (mid range and above, or repeat offences). The interlock period can be lengthy, but we can help navigate the requirements and potentially reduce the interlock period through proper representation.
Can I avoid a criminal conviction for drink driving in NSW?
Yes, it's possible through a Section 10 dismissal or Conditional Release Order without conviction. NSW magistrates have discretion to not record a conviction even if you plead guilty. Success depends on your personal circumstances, traffic history, character references, and the strength of your case presentation. We've helped many clients avoid convictions that would impact their careers and future.
What should I bring to my first consultation about my NSW traffic matter?
Please bring your Court Attendance Notice (CAN), Police Facts Sheet, driver's licence, any prior traffic history, employment letter or payslips, and any documents supporting your circumstances (character references, medical reports, completion of traffic offender programs). If you don't have everything yet, we can help you obtain police documents and start building your case immediately.
