Have you found yourself charged with a traffic violation?
While it’s not something anyone wants to experience, traffic offences can be as daunting as facing a criminal charge.
Certain traffic violations can result in severe consequences, including lengthy prison sentences, hefty fines, and extended driving bans.
If you’ve been charged with a traffic offence, what are your options? And how can you avoid facing such charges in the future?
Safe driving is essential, and distractions - whether from a conversation or your music - can pose a serious danger.
To ensure your safety and the safety of others, always keep your radio volume moderate and stick to the speed limit. It's also important to never drive while wearing headphones, as this can impair your ability to hear important road sounds.
At Boudica Criminal Law, we strongly advise against drink driving. Even small amounts of alcohol can push you past the legal blood alcohol limit.
However, if you’re charged with drink driving, having an experienced criminal lawyer in Busselton by your side can make all the difference. We provide expert legal representation, ensuring you get the best advice and assistance to handle the charges.
Whether you’re dealing with reckless driving, dangerous driving, driving under the influence (DUI), or drink driving, Boudica Criminal Law has the experience to help you through the legal process.
Understanding how to respond after an incident on the road is vital. It’s important to document the event in as much detail as possible, as this information can help build a strong case in your defense.
We are ready to assist you in any traffic-related matter. If the police request your personal details, such as your name, address, and date of birth, or ask if you are the driver, you must comply.
However, refrain from answering any other questions or participating in interviews until you’ve consulted with one of our experienced traffic lawyers. It’s crucial not to resist arrest or argue with the police, but if you feel you were treated unfairly, we’ll address the issue at a later time.
Drink driving is one of the most commonly committed traffic offences, and the law takes a strict stance on it. If you’re charged with drink driving, it’s a good idea to have skilled representation to navigate the legal complexities.
We always advise against drinking and driving, as it’s easy to exceed the legal blood alcohol limit without realising it. The safest option is always to avoid driving after drinking.
If you do face drink driving charges, Boudica Criminal Law offers the advice to negotiate with the prosecution, represent you in court, and provide advice on how to proceed.
A strong legal strategy can reduce the potential consequences you face, including fines and licence suspensions.
DUI, which involves driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, is a serious offence with severe penalties, including imprisonment and long driving disqualifications.
If you are facing a DUI charge, responsible driving habits are crucial.
But if you're charged, you may benefit from an experienced DUI lawyer to handle your case.
We can help secure an extraordinary license, allowing you to drive for specific purposes while serving your disqualification period.
The consequences of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol can be severe, which is why it’s essential to have an experienced lawyer on your side.
While it’s easy to think that following the road rules will keep you safe from legal issues, sometimes situations arise that are beyond your control.
If you find yourself facing a traffic offence, Boudica Criminal Law in Busselton is here to provide the legal guidance and representation you need.
