23.01.2022 CORONAVIRUS COURTS The courts are racing to put in place technology for hearings to be done remotely. In terms of criminal and traffic law what this means is that persons who are not present in a court room will not be at risk of going to jail.... Bail applications will be able to be run on account of delays being encountered and persons are more likely to get bail granted. We further believe that there will be significant delays in police issuing charges as their resources are diverted and given the fact that police technology also needs to catch up to file documentation with courts remotely. In both the criminal and civil courts, we are rapidly moving to a position where appearances will be managed through the electronic and digital environment see: https://www.itnews.com.au//victoria-races-to-scale-up-virt We as a law firm available to give legal advice and to support the community continue to remain open during this period and if you have any inquiries in regard to criminal law or even other areas of law we are available to help you. There will be numerous challenges involving legal issues over this time and that is why we are here to help. I can be contacted here on Facebook message or by mobile direct 0410 639 921. We do not charge a fee for your initial inquiry, so get in touch if you have any questions.

22.01.2022 DANGERS OF USING MOBILE PHONES WHILE DRIVING Thousands of Australian drivers are still being caught using mobile phones while driving. The new cameras in Sydney are catching almost 1000 people a day.... Some have even been caught using 2 phones and not holding the wheel at all. We are now all aware of the dangers of using phones which distract our attention from the road. With the new cameras, more people will be detected and fined. In NSW, where the new technology is being trialed, fines will be implemented 1 month after the 3 month trial is concluded. However the risk is much greater as a collision can result in serious injury or death. You may also be charged with more serious offences which can result in prison sentences. While the initial deterrent is a fine and loss of points you can be looking at several traffic or criminal offences. If you need assistance with any traffic or criminal offences contact us here on Facebook or you can speak to me directly on 0410 639 921.

21.01.2022 CRASHED NAKED A 19yo seemingly with drug / serious mental health issues has been driving naked around town and crashed. This incident highlights the importance of addressing mental health issues in conjunction with dealing with legal issues particularly for young offenders.... It is critical to have a joint response for young people to ensure they are not lost in the system and have a chance of leading a normal productive life. The accused is very lucky here that he did not kill or seriously injure an innocent person. If you require assistance with legal matters for yourself or a family member get in touch and we are happy to talk about circumstance with you in order to help.

21.01.2022 FATAL CRASH - NO JAIL TIME Dangerous Driving Causing Death would normally always result in a jail term. From our perspective we do not see that the driving was in fact dangerous, although we acknowledge that we do not know the full facts. In context of the sentence outcome perhaps this is what the sentencing Judge also factored in.... Dangerous driving usually involves extreme high speed and erratic acts on the road, mere inattention does not normally fit the definition of dangerous driving. Food for thought here on how this case was or perhaps should have been conducted by the defence lawyers with a more appropriate plea to a lesser charge other than dangerous driving causing death If you or someone you know require assistance with any criminal or traffic law matters get in touch with us here on Facebook or contact me direct on 0410 639 921.

20.01.2022 BEER TRUCKS STRANDED EN ROUTE TO DARWIN Darwinites are facing the crisis of a lifetime - a beer shortage. A truck full of frothies has been delayed in Longreach, in Central West Queensland, where they will likely be stuck for a week or more.... The NT News reported that about 25 trucks are delayed in the Queensland town due to flooding. But there is good news. A spokesman for Carlton & United Breweries confirmed their beers were still able to travel up the Northern Territory capital, so Darwinites wont have to wait out for much longer.

17.01.2022 DAD FINED FOR RIDING SCOOTER Highway Patrol Cops pull over a Dad and his son riding an electric scooter on Bondis famous promenade fining him $2,020 and suspending his licence. Mr Kozmin wasnt far along the popular promenade when he was pulled over by the highway patrol car. ... Officers fined Mr Kozmin $2020, claiming he had been riding an unregistered and uninsured vehicle, was riding on the footpath and had failed to wear a helmet. Police said their checks showed Mr Kozmin already had a suspended riders licence but he told officers he was unaware of the suspension. The patrolmen then handed him a notice making it clear his licence was suspended.

13.01.2022 POLICE LAUNCH BLITZ ON COWBOY TRUCK DRIVERS New South Wales has teamed up with bordering states and the ACT to launch a major blitz targeting "cowboy" truck drivers, while their union says the whole industry needs an overhaul. The crackdown follows the deaths of five people involved in heavy-vehicle crashes last month in New South Wales....

NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy said authorities were sick of the carnage on road. "Weve already had 38 people killed this year, which is nine over this time last year.

12.01.2022 APPEALING AN INFRINGEMENT NOTICE (LICENCE SUSPENSION) IN COURT You have committed a traffic offence and the Department of Transport and Main Roads have sent you an infringement notice (fine). You dont dispute you have committed the offence, though you have you reasons for why you should be given some leniency. What do you do? ... It is possible to appeal the suspension, which is to say to get it removed completely, or at the very least, reduced. You do this by "court electing" the infringement notice. This means you can have your day in Court and plead why you should be given leniency. The Court will look at your individual circumstances, including: - - Your driving record; - Why you need your licence; - Your character (character references are helpful); - What hardships you or other people will face if you dont have a licence. So how can we help you? We will prepare for you "submissions" and make them to the Court on the day. We will put your best position as to why you should be afforded leniency based on your individual circumstances. Get in touch here on Facebook by message or contact our lawyer, Anna Lloyd, on 0410 576 964 and we will advise you on your prospects to challenge an infringement notice.

12.01.2022 WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A COURT ADVOCATE? Confidence to speak to the Judge and at times challenge the Judges views, putting the client interests first and not what they think might impact on the advocates own personal reputation. Preparation, to know the details of the case intimately to be able to respond in the moment to any unexpected matters that arise during the court battle.... A Quick Wit and Powers of Persuasion, which needs no further explanation. Principled, to put in place what they have said to the client they will when in Court and not back down from a position. Knowledge, of what the rules and laws are in play and how to argue those in favour of their client. If you have experienced anything less with your encounters with the legal profession, in our view that is just not good enough, but in saying that we see lack lustre legal representation everyday in our travels through the Courts by others.

I understand that people come to court to make a point, but perhaps this is not the best way to do it through your choice of t-shirt....

07.01.2022 LANE FILTERING ON ROADS The New South Wales Governments Towards Zero road safety campaign uploaded a video to its Facebook page last week about lane splitting. This is where motorcyclists scoot between slow moving or stationary cars. What is lane filtering?... Lane filtering is when a motorcycle rider moves alongside vehicles that have either stopped or are moving slowly (less than 30 km/h). Motorcycle lane filtering laws apply in NSW, with strict conditions. Motorcyclists must only lane filter when travelling less than 30 km/h. Motorcyclists can lane filter through stationary and slow moving traffic. Motorcyclists caught moving between traffic at over 30km/h face heavy fines and three demerit points under the offence called lane splitting It is illegal for motorcyclists to lane filter: next to the kerb next to parked vehicles in school zones Motorcyclists should not lane filter around heavy vehicles and buses. Only fully licensed motorcyclists are allowed to lane filter. For further details on lane filtering, read below or should you need to discuss any traffic law matter message me here on Facebook or call me on 0415 604 593.

04.01.2022 SHORT SHORTS OFFEND In days gone by the expectation was that if you had been accused of a crime read in traffic offence you ought to turn up to court wearing a suit.
