Driving While Disqualified – Ringwood Magistrates’ Court
The Court: Ringwood Magistrates’ Court
The Date: January 2026
- Road Safety Act 30 (1) – Driving during a period of disqualification
- Imprisonment of up to 2 years
- Fine of up to $48.842.40
Our client was driving along a main road in Wantirna when she was intercepted by police.
When asked to produce her driver’s licence, she provided a full Victorian driver’s licence. Police enquiries subsequently confirmed that her licence was currently disqualified and cancelled for a period of six months. The interception occurred approximately eleven days into the cancellation period.
Our client made full admissions to receiving the infringement notice that resulted in the disqualification. However, she advised that she did not fully understand that accepting the infringement would result in the loss of her driver’s licence.
The court imposed a $500 fine, with no licence interference and no conviction recorded.
Our client was pleased with this outcome, particularly as she relies heavily on her driver’s licence for her employment in the aged care industry. Her role requires regular travel to support clients in the community, making her ability to drive essential to the continuation of her work.
The absence of any licence penalties or further disqualification periods ensured she has been able to maintain her current employment without interruption and has been able to continue providing consistent care to those she assists.
