Traffic offences can be confusing and stressful, particularly where they involve demerit point suspensions, immediate licence suspensions, or the risk of disqualification by a court. The rules and processes differ depending on the type of offence, your driving history, and whether the suspension or disqualification is imposed by Transport for NSW or the court.

Some traffic matters allow time to consider options before a licence suspension takes effect, while others result in an immediate loss of licence, often before you have had the opportunity to seek legal advice. Understanding your rights, time limits, and available options is critical, as strict deadlines apply.

The appeals and review process can also be complex. In many cases, you must wait for a formal suspension or disqualification notice before an appeal or application can be made, and failing to act within the required timeframe may result in the loss of important legal rights.
