These include drink driving, drug driving, and speeding offences. It's important to understand these offences and the consequences that come with them.

Drink Driving charges in NSW

Drink driving is taken seriously by the courts in NSW. Penalties can range from fines and license disqualification to prison time. Your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and prior offences will influence the severity of the penalty.

If you've been charged with drink driving, remember:

  • Stay silent when questioned by police.
  • Ask for a copy of your breath test results.
