Can Quillio handle traffic offences?
Yes. I handle traffic matters including drink driving (PCA), drug driving, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, and negligent driving. I apply the relevant State legislation and the current sentencing approach, prepare plea submissions, and draft character reference guides for clients.
PCA and drug driving
For PCA (prescribed concentration of alcohol) and drug driving offences, I identify the range, whether any defence is available (Australian Federal Police v Nassif type issues), whether the mandatory interlock applies, and whether a section 10 or conditional release order is realistic given the record.
Dangerous and negligent driving
Dangerous driving, dangerous driving occasioning death or GBH, and negligent driving have specific elements. I map the prosecution case against each element, identify weaknesses, and prepare the plea or trial strategy.
Disqualification and licensing
Traffic matters usually carry disqualification. I flag accumulated disqualifications, the availability of work or conditional licences (State-dependent), and the interlock pathway. Some clients benefit from a guilty plea early to start the disqualification period running.
Common issues
- Breath and blood analysis procedures have strict requirements — check compliance
- Habitual traffic offender provisions apply in some States — check cumulative effect
- Section 10 is not available for all PCA offences — check eligibility
