Traffic and Driving Offences.

Traffic, Drink Driving (DUI) and Drug Driving Offences.

Too often, individuals think of traffic offences as a minor violation and choose to face it alone However, being charged with even the most minor of traffic offences can be stressful and can have wide ranging ramifications for your livelihood. This can be even more worrying if your liberty is at stake for a serious driving offence.

If you’re facing a minor traffic offence, you can choose to simply pay the fine to avoid further hassles. However, doing so may result in demerit points. If you don’t already know and accruing too many demerit points can lead to licence suspension.

If you commit a very serious offence or leave a traffic charge unaddressed, the consequences are bigger. You could face jail time, heavy fines, and the loss of your driver’s licence.


In today’s day and age, losing your driving privileges is not ideal. Without a licence, you may be unable to work or provide care for your loved ones.
