Reckless Driving Lawyers
Work with a fierce and committed reckless driving lawyer with Australian Lawyers and Advocates
Reckless driving is a criminal offence in Australia that occurs when an individual operates a motor vehicle in a manner that is dangerous to other people or property. This may include driving at excessive speeds, weaving in and out of traffic, ignoring traffic signals or engaging in other reckless behaviour behind the wheel. It can ultimately lead to more serious offences such as Negligent Driving (Occasioning Grievous Bodily Harm), Negligent Driving (Occasioning Death), Dangerous Driving (Occasioning Grievous Bodily Harm) and Dangerous Driving (Occasioning Death).
It’s important to remember that reckless driving is not defined by a specific blood alcohol concentration or substance use, unlike drink or drug driving. Instead, it is defined by how the vehicle is operated.
If you have been charged with a reckless driving offence, you should seek the assistance of an experienced reckless driving lawyer. Our team of reckless driving lawyers can help you navigate the legal process, explain your charges, inform you of your rights and possible penalties and provide guidance on the best defence strategy.
We are also highly competent to represent you in court and work to mitigate the potential consequences of the reckless driving offence. Depending on the complexities of your case, we can also negotiate with the prosecution to reduce the number and/or severity of your charges or even secure a dismissal of your charges.
Australian Lawyers and Advocates believes everyone deserves access to affordable legal representation, which is why we offer flexible payment arrangements with fixed or time-costed fees tailored to your case.
What a reckless driving offence may mean for you
The legal consequences of a reckless driving offence in Australia can be severe and are taken very seriously by law enforcement. Depending on the specific circumstances of the offence, a person found guilty of reckless driving faces a criminal conviction, potential heavy fines, lengthy disqualification periods from driving and possibly imprisonment.
Repeat offenders may face more drastic penalties, including larger fines, longer periods of disqualification and longer potential prison sentences.
A reckless driving offence may also have significant consequences for an individual personally. It may impact an individual’s ability to maintain or obtain future employment and affect their relationship with friends and family.
