Driving while suspended
The Court: Melbourne Magistrates’ Court
The Date: July 2025
The Charges:
- Road Safety Act 30(1) – driving while suspended
- A fine of up to $48,842.40
- Up to 2 years imprisonment
Our client was pulled over by the police on the Westgate Bridge. His licence was suspended a month before for drink driving.
Our client believed that he had 28 days before his licence was suspended and was unaware it was suspended on the spot prior to this.
The court imposed a $900 fine and did not interfere with our client’s licence. The client was pleased as he couldn’t afford for his licence to be suspended longer than it already was for a previous offence.
