Whilst the legislation provides a mandatory minimum 12 months licence suspension upon a finding of guilt, one must remember that this is the statutory minimum period with higher licence loss periods possible in consideration of any aggravating features including an accused person’s driving record. The offence of Dangerous Driving is serious, and the Courts look unfavourably on this type of offending due to the risk an alleged offender posed on other road users.

As such, we highly recommend contacting our office today to discuss your matter with our experienced criminal Lawyers to ensure we get you the best possible outcome with minimum licence loss. In some cases, the facts of your case may lean towards the lesser charge of careless driving which places a discretion on the Court as to whether they suspend your licence.
