Traffic Lawyers Brisbane

With the amount of time you spend on the road, it is almost a given that at some point you will receive a traffic infringement for something. When this happens it is disappointing, inconvenient and a good reminder of the importance of safety on the roads.

However, there are times when a lapse in judgement can result in being charged with an offence that requires you to appear in court. These are often offences associated with unlicensed driving, drink driving, drug driving or dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Traffic offences are taken very seriously in the Queensland Court system and can often carry hefty fines, lengthy disqualification periods and even imprisonment.
