19.01.2022 NEW LAW UPDATE ROAD AND TRAFFIC FINES The NSW government is proposing new laws to punish drivers who do not adhere to the road rules. Some of the proposed changes include:... 1. First-time low-range drink-drivers in NSW will be fined $561 and have their licences suspended for three months; 2. Mid-range drink-drivers will have a breath-test device fitted to their vehicle, this essentially means that before you can start your vehicle, you will need to pass a breath test. The interlock system costs about $180 to install, with ongoing servicing fees and usually have a $100 removal fee. If the above changes are passed in Parliament and become law, they are expected to begin in May 2018.
