In NSW, major driving offences include a range of serious
traffic violations that can result in significant penalties and consequences.
Some of the major driving offenses in NSW include:
1. Drink Driving: Operating a
motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious
offence in NSW and can result in heavy fines, license suspension, and even
imprisonment, particularly for repeat offenders or those with high blood
alcohol concentrations.
2. Speeding Offences:
Exceeding the speed limit can result in fines, demerit points, and license
suspension, particularly for excessive speeding or repeat offenses.
3. Dangerous driving: This
includes reckless or dangerous driving behaviour that endangers others on the
road and can result in severe penalties, including heavy fines, license
disqualification, and imprisonment.
4. Driving without a license and Driving whilst disqualified: Operating a motor vehicle
without a valid driver’s licence or while disqualified from driving can result
in fines, further disqualification, and potentially imprisonment.
5. Street racing & burnouts:
Engaging in illegal street racing, performing burnouts, or participating in
other forms of dangerous driving behaviour can result in significant penalties,
including heavy fines, vehicle confiscation, and license disqualification.
6. Driving under the influence of
drugs: Similar to drink driving, operating a
vehicle while under the influence of illicit drugs or certain prescription
medications is a serious offense in NSW and can result in significant
penalties.
These are just a few examples of major driving offenses in
NSW. It’s important to note that the penalties for these offenses can vary
based on the specific circumstances of each case, and individuals must obtain
legal advice.
