Traffic Laws
Traffic laws and regulations can be complex, and can have a significant impact on individuals, including losing your licence, facing fines or even a criminal conviction. The rules are far reaching, with the majority of the population relying on either holding a driver's licence or depending on someone who is a licensed driver. Unfortunately, those who oversee policy in the modern era of law enforcement can arguably appear more interested in the revenue side of enforcement than in actual safety.
Our lawyers at Save U Legal are well equipped to defend and represent clients facing traffic or licensing offences, including serious matters such as predatory driving, furious driving and police pursuits, which carry not only significant licence disqualification periods but also significant prison sentences. If your matter also involves criminal charges, our criminal lawyer Tweed Heads team can assist with both aspects of your case.

Drink Driving & DUI Lawyers
Drink driving laws have been in force for nearly 40 years, yet unfortunately drink driving remains one of the most regularly prosecuted traffic offences.
Since 2019, PCA (prescribed concentration of alcohol) drink driving laws have tightened further, with the introduction of interlock orders for mid range, first time drink driving offences.
This means that if you return a blood alcohol reading of 0.08 or above, you are now facing a minimum of 12 months on an interlock licence after any disqualification period has ended. For some people, that can mean the difference between staying employed and paying the mortgage, or losing their job with all of the consequences that follow.
As soon as you are charged, we recommend you call us so we can review your options. One of our experienced traffic lawyers at Save U Legal in Tweed Heads may make all the difference.
Speeding and Mobile Offences
Speeding offences affect almost every driver. There are more ways than ever to be caught speeding, with mobile speed cameras and, at times, police positioned in locations, such as just inside a 50km zone, where enforcement can appear more about revenue than safety.
It is easy to accumulate demerit points, which can quickly lead to a suspension letter from the relevant traffic authority. If this happens to you, please give our Save U Legal lawyers a call. Running appeals and defences for speeding offences is what we do, and at the very least we can help you review your options.
We also see strong police enforcement of mobile phone offences. We recently represented a client who was holding a black makeup case, which police mistook for a mobile phone. Do not simply pay the fine, we defend cases like this.
Heavy Vehicles
The states have enacted legislation that has unified heavy vehicle laws under the National Heavy Vehicle Law. This legislation covers all aspects of heavy vehicle operation and management, including:
- Heavy Vehicle (Fatigue Management) National Regulation
- Heavy Vehicle (General) National Regulation
- Heavy Vehicle (Mass, Dimension and Loading) National Regulation
- Heavy Vehicle (Registration) National Regulation
- Heavy Vehicle (Vehicle Standards) National Regulation
Save U Legal's traffic lawyers have experience representing drivers and owners across the heavy vehicle industry. In fact, our Principal Lawyer previously worked as a heavy vehicle owner operator, giving him a unique, practical understanding of how heavy vehicle law applies on the road.
