Frequently
Asked Questions
At Pendlebury Legal, we have successfully helped clients reduce fines, avoid demerit points, and challenge unfair traffic offences.

Penalties for drink driving in NSW depend on the Prescribed concentration of alcohol (PCA) level and whether it’s a first offence or a repeat offence. Even for low-range drink driving, you may face fines, licence suspension, and a criminal record. Higher BAC levels can result in heavier fines, mandatory interlock programs, or even imprisonment. At Pendlebury Legal, we have extensive experience defending drink driving charges, helping clients minimise penalties or avoid convictions where possible.
In NSW, fully licensed drivers can accumulate up to 13 demerit points before facing suspension. Provisional and learner drivers have lower thresholds. Certain traffic offences, like speeding, running red lights, or using a mobile phone while driving, can quickly lead to licence suspension. If you’re at risk of losing your licence, Pendlebury Legal can assist in challenging demerit points, appealing suspensions, or negotiating for reduced penalties.
In NSW, the legal BAC limit for full licence holders is 0.05. For learner, P1, and P2 drivers, as well as certain commercial drivers, the BAC limit is 0.00. If you’ve been charged with exceeding the BAC limit, Pendlebury Legal can assess your case, explore defences, and represent you in court to seek the best possible outcome.
Refusing a breath test, saliva test, or blood test is a serious offence in NSW and carries the same or harsher penalties such as a high-range drink or drug driving charge. You may face immediate licence suspension, heavy fines, or even jail time. If you’ve refused a test or been charged with a drug or alcohol-related offence, Pendlebury Legal can help protect your rights and explore legal options to fight the charge.
NSW enforces double demerit points during public holidays and long weekends. This means penalties for offences like speeding, seatbelt violations, and using a mobile phone while driving can double, increasing the risk of losing your licence. If you’ve been hit with double demerit points and are facing licence suspension, Pendlebury Legal can assess whether you have grounds to appeal or challenge the fine.
Using a mobile phone while driving in NSW can result in heavy fines and demerit points. Penalties increase during double demerit periods. If you’ve been fined for alleged mobile phone use, Pendlebury Legal can help challenge the fine, particularly if there’s insufficient evidence or a misunderstanding of the circumstances.
Yes. If you believe a traffic fine or infringement was unfairly issued, you may have legal grounds to appeal.
Options include:
✔ Requesting a review from Revenue NSW
✔ Electing to go to court to contest the fine
✔ Arguing special circumstances to reduce or withdraw the penalty
