Welcome to #BoormanLawyers Video Update

Welcome to Boorman Lawyers. In this video and blog post we are going to look at the QLD Traffic Offender Program.

Speaker at a traffic offender program

I was invited along to speak and give the presentation on the legal component at a Queensland traffic offender program, which is a traffic education and rehabilitation course that a lot of traffic offenders go and participate in. This new program, it’s new to Queensland. It’s been well-established in New South Wales for quite some time.

Full 1 Day Traffic Offender Program QLD

It’s a full one-day course which covers a number of different traffic education components. Obviously, I’ll be giving the presentation on that legal component today.

Program suitable all types of traffic offenders

If you have been charged with any sort of quite serious traffic offence or even maybe less serious offence, I mean if you’ve lost all your points and you’re going to plead some leniency before the Court, if you’ve been not charged with a more serious offence such as drink driving or dangerous driving, disqualified driving and you’ve got to go to Court on these offences, then it’s very much worthwhile to look into doing a traffic education or a traffic offender program.

Program fees vary between providers and can change, so check the current fee with the provider before you enrol.

Participants issued with a Completion Certificate

This particular course is a full one-day course. As I’ve mentioned, a number of different components are presented in the course. Participants are obliged to participate and become quite engaged in the course throughout the day.

Then there’s a workbook that they fill out and space for notes to be taken, and then at the end of the course, if they participated properly and filled out the workbook, then they’ll be provided with a completion certificate.

Traffic Offender Program are highly regarded by the Courts

When the matter actually comes before the Court, they can actually show the Magistrate that they have completed this course, show them their workbook, their completion certificate. It really just does show a willingness on the part of the offender to re-educate themselves rehabilitate themselves in relation to their offending behaviour and general driver safety on the roads.

These courses do going to a lot of detail. They do present quite some confrontational and graphical content. It is there to really teach people the pitfalls of dangerous driving and offending on our roads.

The Courts are aware how well run these courses are. They are also aware that people who gone participate in these courses have a far less chance of becoming a repeat offender.

So if you have found yourself on the wrong side of the law, you’ve been caught for something and you do have to go to court, I would strongly recommend looking into completing or participating in one of these courses. Then obviously, when your matter goes to court, you can then say to the Magistrate or get through either yourself if you self-represented, or through your solicitor that you’ve actually gone ahead and you’ve taken some pro-active steps to ensure that this sort of offending will not occur again in the future.
