Have you been charged with a traffic offence in Newcastle? Whether you’re facing a drink driving charge, licence suspension, or court for a serious driving matter, our experienced traffic lawyers in Newcastle can help protect your record, your licence, and your livelihood.

At Cunningham & Adam, we provide practical advice and strong representation for all traffic-related matters before the Local Court. We understand what’s at stake and work with you to resolve your matter as efficiently and effectively as possible.

 

How We Can Help

Our Newcastle traffic law team advises and represents clients across a full range of matters, including:

  • Drink driving offences (low, mid, and high-range PCA)
  • Drug driving offences
  • Licence appeals and automatic suspensions
  • Negligent or dangerous driving
  • Driving while suspended or disqualified
  • Speeding offences (including 30km/h and 45km/h over the limit)
  • Court Attendance Notices (CANs) for serious traffic matters
  • Local Court sentencing and appeals 

If you’ve received a CAN, been issued with a suspension, or are unsure how to plead, our traffic lawyers can guide you through the process and explain your options.

Licence Suspension Appeals

Certain offences carry automatic licence suspensions, including:

  • Exceeding the speed limit by more than 30km/h – 3-month suspension
  • Exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h – 6-month suspension
  • Driving under the influence – minimum 3-month suspension 

If your licence has been suspended, you may be eligible to appeal to the Local Court,  but strict time limits apply. You must lodge an appeal within 28 days of your suspension notice. Our traffic solicitors can assist with preparing and filing your appeal and will advocate for the best possible outcome in court.

 

Drink and Drug Driving Charges

Penalties for PCA and drug driving offences can be severe and may include licence disqualification, large fines, interlock program orders, and even imprisonment for repeat offences. Our team will assess your matter, explain your options, and help present your case clearly and persuasively in court.

We often assist with:

  • First-time PCA charges
  • Repeat drink driving offences
  • Interlock exemption applications
  • Sentencing submissions and alternatives to conviction
