In Episode 21 of the Boorman Lawyers Court Reports, we appeared the Campbelltown Local Court in Western Sydney where we appeared on an application to Quash a Habitual Traffic Offender Declaration.
What is a Habitual Traffic Offender Declaration in NSW?
I just recently appeared at Campbelltown Local Court for a client of mine who was seeking to have the habitual traffic offender application quashed. Now, just for information purposes if a person in New South Wales has been charged with three or more major traffic offences and have been convicted or at least received Section 10 for three major traffic offences within a 5-year period, then the RMS will declare them as a Habitual Traffic Offender.
What the means is that once a defendant serves out their court order disqualification period, and they think it’s time to go back and get their license reinstated, the RMS will actually then go and apply a further 5-years disqualification to their license. So, these are some pretty extreme flow on penalties and usually disproportionate to the level of offending that someone’s been involved with.
Application to Quash Habitual Traffic Offender Declaration
What we did is we put an application on and I might add that, the habitual traffic offender declaration can be quashed by the Court’s system. So, it’s up to a Magistrate to decide whether that additional 5-year declaration be taken away or whether it should be left put in place.
Our client was a habitual traffic offender. She had incurred three major traffic offences:
So she was then declared a habitual traffic offender which added five years on to her license disqualification.
Since our client had now finalised her Court ordered Disqualification period we put an application on to the Court to have the habitual traffic offender declaration quashed. We appeared before the Magistrate at Campbelltown Courthouse and gave persuasive submissions as to why our client has changed, how she’s growing up, how she’s matured of the past year that she has been off the road and also, the difficulties that she has incurred without a driver’s license.
Supporting evidence to Quashing Habitual Traffic Offender Declaration
We tendered before the Court some good character references and a letter of apology and reflection from our client. This was all taken into high regard and the Magistrate was very receptive to the evidence and our oral submissions. The Court agreed with our submissions that the 5-years additional habitual traffic offender declaration was very disproportionate to her previous offending especially considering that she has not re-offended at any time during the period that she was off the road from that Court order disqualification put in place last year.
The Magistrate was happy to quash the habitual traffic offender declaration, which means that our client can now take the court order along to the RMS and apply for a license to get back on the road.
New licence to come with Interlock restrictions
It’s worth keeping in mind that she is going to be subject to Mandatory Interlock Laws because her last drink driving offence last year was a second drink driving offence. So, it does mean that she can now go along to the RMS, have the 5-year habitual traffic offender declaration quashed and now commence her minimum 2-year interlock period. But our client is very happy because she is just grateful that she can commence driving again and move forward in her life having learned some significant major lessons.
Eligibility to Quash Habitual Traffic Offender Declaration
Recent changes to the laws surrounding Habitual Traffic Offender Declaration have now removed the entire Habitual Traffic Offence Declaration Scheme, however people who had the Declaration issued to them prior to the removal of the scheme still have to abide by the old scheme.
However, there is still certainly the ability to Quash the Habitual Traffic Offender Declaration or alternatively seek an Application for a Licence Disqualification Removal. These are 2 separate applications but both have the same effect of being able to get a persons licence reinstated.
If you are not sure whether you’re eligible please feel free in contacting us today so we can assess your situation and advise whether we can bring an application to get you back on the road driving again.

Josh Boorman worked with me to present a very strong case for my low range alcohol offence and I was acquitted with no fine, no suspension and no conviction. We spent a lot of time together writing and re-writing my references to get the wording perfect and also my explanation of how my offence came about. Josh has a lot of experience in this particular field and his thoroughness and presentation paid off successfully. A fixed fee agreed on before you start means you know exactly where you stand. Well done. Thanks again Josh.”

FAQs about this post
What was this a habitual offender declaration matter about?
In Episode 21 of the Boorman Lawyers Court Reports we take a look at a matter which we appeared on in Campbelltown Local Court where we successfully Quashed our clients Habitual Offender Declaration and enables them to get back on the road driving immediately. I just recently appeared at Campbelltown Local Court for a client of mine who was seeking to have the habitual traffic offender application quashed.
What was the result of the a habitual offender declaration charge?
What the means is that once a defendant serves out their court order disqualification period, and they think it’s time to go back and get their license reinstated, the RMS will actually then go and apply a further 5-years disqualification to their license.
