Types of Offences for Driving Whilst Suspended / Disqualified in Sydney

 

Driving with a suspended or disqualified licence in Sydney falls under two major offences as per the Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW). Each of these offences carries specific legal implications:

  • Drive While Unlicensed/Never Licensed – Section 53: This offence applies to individuals caught driving without ever having been issued a valid licence. It's a serious breach of the Road Transport Act, and Invictus Legal provides the necessary legal assistance to address this charge.

  • Drive While Suspended, Disqualified, Cancelled or Refused – Section 54: This offence applies to individuals who continue to drive despite their licence being suspended, disqualified, cancelled or refused. The legal team at Invictus Legal is adept at handling such complex cases, ensuring your rights are protected.

Types of Penalties for Driving Whilst Suspended / Disqualified

 

The penalties for driving with a suspended or disqualified licence in Sydney vary based on the nature of the offence and the driver's history:

  • First-time offenders: A maximum fine of $3,300 and/or a potential 6-month term of imprisonment. It's crucial to note that this is classified as a criminal offence, requiring a court appearance.

  • Subsequent Offences: Under section 54.3 of the Road Transport Act 2013, repeat offences attract harsher penalties, including a fine of up to $5,500 or 12 months in prison. In extreme cases, both may be applied. Invictus Legal helps navigate these severe penalties by providing expert advice and representation.
