Traffic Law
We offer a broad range of services in traffic law.
As a driver, you’re responsible for knowing the rules of the road. You must also be aware of how these laws can affect your driving privileges if you’re caught breaking them. Consequences include hefty fines, loss of licence and, in some cases, prison sentences.
Traffic laws are upheld to keep everyone safe, so it’s important that people obey them — but if you do get charged for a serious traffic offence like speeding, reckless or drink driving, it’s crucial that you seek appropriate legal advice to handle the situation.
When you’re in a jam, you need a good lawyer. And when you’re facing serious charges for driving offences, you need the best. At Zahr Partners we handle all kinds of traffic law matters in Sydney and surrounding areas to get you back on the road as soon as possible.

If you find yourself in this situation, you may be entitled to appeal the decision. Our experienced traffic lawyers can advise you on how best to proceed with an appeal and represent you in court if necessary.
You may be able to argue duress or honest and reasonable mistake under The Criminal Codes Act 1995, but the laws are complex and you need to know exactly what your options are. Our traffic lawyers can help you prepare your defence to ensure you get the best possible outcome for your case.
As per section 110 of the Road Transport Act 2013, the police can issue a first-time offender for drink driving with a fine on the spot if their blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.05 or more, while repeat or subsequent offenders will have to attend court and seek immediate legal advice.
Our traffic lawyers are experts at helping clients that have been charged with drink driving offences mitigate DUI sentences and hearings. In some cases, we can also successfully argue that no conviction should be recorded for a sentence — and we’re able to advise our clients of the prospects for success.
- Inconsiderately or without due care and attention.
- In a manner that may have caused danger to other road users.
Our traffic lawyers in Sydney can advise you on the best way to deal with your charge, whether by pleading guilty and proceeding with a sentence or taking a not-guilty plea and running a defended hearing. No matter what route you take, our expert lawyers are here to guide you through each step along the way.
If you’ve been caught on camera committing this offence, it’s likely that you’ll receive a fine from Revenue NSW on behalf of Transport, Roads and Maritime Services in the mail shortly after, but running a red light can also lead to demerit points and eventually, to your licence being suspended.
Our traffic lawyers have extensive experience helping people challenge traffic camera offences. We can advise you on your rights and help you argue your case forcefully in court.
If you’ve been charged with this offence, or with driving at excessive speed, it’s vital to get legal advice as soon as possible. Our specialist lawyers have the knowledge and experience to secure the best possible outcome for you.
