It is available for traffic offences, but the likelihood of this outcome depends on the seriousness of your offence, your traffic history, and your personal circumstances. Our experienced traffic lawyers can advise you on whether a section 10 is a realistic outcome in your matter during a free Ask Arthur Consultation.

You are not required to have a lawyer, but having an experienced traffic lawyer means you can fully understand your options and ensure your matter is presented to the court in the most compelling way possible.

In NSW, drink driving charges are categorised by the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) reading. Low range is a reading of 0.05 to 0.079, mid range is 0.08 to 0.149 and high range is a reading of 0.15 and above.
Each offence carries progressively more serious penalties, including higher fines, lengthier disqualification periods, lengthier mandatory interlock orders and potential imprisonment.
