Restricted Drivers Licence Applications

Many driving offences, including drink driving and drug driving, have mandatory penalties that include the disqualification of your drivers licence. Losing your drivers licence can have a huge impact on you, your family and your lifestyle. By not being able to drive, you may lose your job or not be able to take your kids to school. Some people who are disqualified from driving may be eligible to apply for a restricted drivers licence.

Restricted Drivers Licences can be granted by a Magistrate, to allow you to drive in limited circumstances or for limited reasons when you are otherwise disqualified from driving. Not everyone is eligible to apply for a restricted drivers licence. Those that are eligible have to file an application with the Court with supporting material, and then give evidence in Court about the application to convince a Magistrate that they should grant the restricted licence. You should contact a specialist criminal lawyer to advise you about your eligibility for applying for a restricted licence, to assist you in preparing the application and to represent you in Court.
