Appeals

Unfairly convicted of a traffic offence?

Don't simply accept the points and penalties. An appeal could be your chance to overturn the verdict and protect your driving record.

What is a Traffic Offence Appeal?

A traffic offence appeal is a legal process where you challenge the outcome of your traffic court case. You're essentially asking a court to review a decision and potentially overturn it. This can lead to a dismissal of the charges, a reduction in penalties, or even a new trial.

Common Grounds for Traffic Offence Appeals

There are several reasons why you might have a strong case for appeal:

• Procedural Errors: Did the police officer make a mistake during the stop or arrest? Were there any irregularities in how the case was handled?
• Faulty Equipment: Was the speed measuring device or traffic light malfunctioning when the alleged offence occurred?
• Mitigating Circumstances: Did you have a legitimate reason for violating the law, such as a medical emergency or a sudden mechanical issue with your vehicle?
• Unfair or Unreasonable Charges: Was the initial charge excessive or unjustified based on the specific circumstances of your case?

Don't Let an Unfair Conviction Hold You Back

A traffic conviction can have serious consequences for your driving record, insurance rates, and even your employment opportunities. An appeal can help you fight back and achieve a just outcome.
