Mornington Traffic Lawyers
The consequences of committing a traffic offence in Victoria are severe, and if you don’t agree with an infringement notice, you can ask to have the matter heard by the Victorian Courts.
If you do contest the original penalty, the Magistrate may cancel the fine; however, they may also increase the fine, order you to pay court costs, cancel or suspend your licence and in the most severe cases, record a criminal conviction. A criminal conviction could be destructive to your future travel or employment plans.

A Mornington Drink Driving Lawyer can assist with information that you may not have known. The lawyers know the legislation, the penalties and the best defences in your circumstance.
If you commit a drink driving offence, you’ll probably face the Victorian Courts.
