What To Do If You Receive a Sydney Traffic Charge or Court Notice
If you have been issued a Court Attendance Notice (CAN) or immediate police suspension in NSW:
- Do not ignore court dates or notices: Failing to appear can result in the court deciding your matter in your absence or issuing a warrant.
- Seek early legal representation: Consult a specialist Sydney traffic lawyer before entering a plea or speaking further to police.
- Prepare early: Completing a Traffic Offender Intervention Program (TOIP) or gathering character references prior to court can significantly improve your outcome.
- Observe suspension orders: Never drive while under a police or RMS suspension, as this carries mandatory disqualifications and potential imprisonment.
