Welcome to Repute Law’s insightful guide on navigating the complexities of dangerous driving charges in New South Wales (NSW). If you find yourself facing the daunting prospect of such charges, you’re not alone. The ramifications of these charges can be severe, impacting your freedom, reputation, and livelihood. It’s crucial to understand the laws surrounding dangerous driving in NSW and your rights within the legal system. In this blog, we’ll delve into the nuances of these laws, potential defences against police charges, and why seeking expert legal representation from Repute Law is paramount.
Dangerous driving offences in NSW are governed primarily by the Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW), specifically Section 117 . According to this legislation, a person is guilty of dangerous driving if they operate a motor vehicle in a manner dangerous to the public. This includes behaviours such as excessive speeding, reckless overtaking, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or any other conduct that puts lives at risk on the road.
The consequences of being charged with dangerous driving can be severe, ranging from hefty fines and license suspension to imprisonment in the most serious cases. Moreover, a conviction for dangerous driving can have long-lasting repercussions on your personal and professional life, including difficulty finding employment or obtaining insurance.
However, it’s essential to recognise that being charged does not automatically equate to guilt. There are potential defences that can be explored with the help of experienced legal counsel. These may include disputing the evidence provided by law enforcement, demonstrating mitigating circumstances, or proving that the driving behaviour did not meet the legal threshold for dangerousness.
