Our client was the owner of a building and construction business in Sydney’s South. He was detected speeding over 30km/h and ultimately received a three month suspension from the RMS.

On his behalf we appealed the three month suspension to the Local Court. Our clients record showed that he had never had any major speeding offences in over 30 years of driving, he had a significant need to keep his licence to run his business, and had exceptional character references.

The Magistrate considered all of the relevant factors and ultimately upheld the appeal and quashed the suspension. This means that our client was able to continue to drive and there is no suspension of his licence.

Speeding over 30km/h and 45km/h carry automatic periods of suspension from the RMS.
