Driver Licence Appeals

Driver licence appeals can protect you from the devastating consequences of losing your driver licence.

However, it is vitally important to get traffic lawyers who are experienced in these appeals and understand the complex laws and ever-changing regulations.

When You Can Appeal

You can appeal against a driver licence suspension when:

You are issued with an 'on the spot' suspension by police eg for mid or high range p.c.a., drive recklessly/furious/in a manner dangerous or at a speed dangerous;
You are issued an RTA suspension for exceeding the speed limit by over 30kph or over 45kph; and
You are a P plate licence holder and are issued with a demerit points suspension.
You are a full driver licence holder and wish to plead 'not guilty' to the offence/s that caused your demerit points suspension.
As of 31 January 2011: You are a full licence holder and wish to plead 'guilty' to the offence/s that caused your demerit point suspension, but feel that suspending your licence is too harsh.

Time Limit for Appeals

You must lodge an Appeal within 28 days of receiving the RTA Notification Letter or, if you did not receive the letter, within 28 days of finding out you are suspended.
