Traffic Infringement Notices and Demerit Point Appeals

Law Tram’s Traffic Law Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Facing Licence Suspension from Too Many Demerit Points? You May Have Options

Traffic infringement notices are common, but the accumulation of demerit points can quickly lead to licence suspension. Many drivers only discover their licence is at risk after receiving a suspension notice. In some cases, you may be able to appeal the decision or apply for a good behaviour period instead of losing your licence.

A lawyer can review your driving record, explain your options, and prepare an appeal or submission to minimise penalties. They can also assist if you wish to contest a traffic infringement notice that you believe was wrongly issued.

Law Tram connects you with experienced traffic lawyers who can guide you through the process and help protect your driving privileges.
