Traffic matters Aabed handles
Practising only in criminal and traffic law, across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Drink driving and DUI
Over the limit, refusing a breath or blood test, repeat offences, or driving while suspended because of an earlier drink driving conviction.
Drug driving
A positive roadside oral fluid test is followed by a confirmatory test and a lab certificate. A positive roadside test alone does not automatically mean a conviction.
Licence suspension and disqualification
Immediate police suspensions, court ordered disqualification, cancellation and relicensing, appeals, and hardship or work driving submissions.
Speeding and excessive speed
Speeding fines and infringement notices, including excessive speed that brings an automatic suspension.
Careless and dangerous driving
Charges laid at the roadside or after a collision, heard in the Magistrates' Court.
Demerit points
Suspensions once points add up. Aabed checks the points were calculated correctly and what options you have.
Driving while suspended or disqualified
A serious charge on its own. Getting advice before your court date matters.
Other road offences
Failure to stop or give way, toll, registration and permit offences, and other infringement notices.
What a driving charge can cost you
Victoria has some of the strictest drink and drug driving laws in Australia. Depending on the offence and your history, a court can impose:
Drink driving
- Immediate licence cancellation or a long suspension
- Fines from several hundred to thousands of dollars
- A community correction order
- An alcohol interlock on your car
- Prison for serious or repeat offences
Drug driving, first offence
- A fine of up to 12 penalty units
- Licence cancelled for at least six months
- An interlock condition when you relicence
- A criminal record
Penalties as set out by Anaki Lawyers. Your own outcome depends on the facts, your record and how the matter is presented.
Before you plead, the evidence gets tested
A charge is only as strong as the prosecution's proof. Aabed works through the brief and looks at:
- Whether the breath, blood or oral fluid test was done correctly
- Whether police followed proper procedure at the stop
- Calibration and maintenance records for the testing device
- The chain of custody for a drug sample, and whether the lab certificate meets the law
- Whether your demerit points were added up correctly
- Whether the suspension was correctly imposed, and if there are grounds to appeal
Where the evidence is strong, the work goes into negotiating with the prosecutor and preparing your plea, so the court hears why you need your licence.

Just been charged or suspended?
- Write down what happened while you still remember it clearly: times, what was said, the test.
- Keep it off social media and don't discuss it with anyone except your lawyer.
- Get advice early. Some licence matters have a short window to act.
- Go to your court date. Not appearing can lead to a warrant for your arrest.
Common questions
Do I need a lawyer for a traffic charge?
You don't have to have one, but the result can turn on details most people never think to check: how the test was done, how your points were counted, what the court will hear about why you need to drive. A free first consultation tells you where you stand before you decide.
Will I lose my licence?
It depends on the offence, your driving history and how the matter is put to the court. Some offences carry an automatic cancellation. Aabed tells you honestly what is realistic in your first call.
Can I appeal a licence suspension?
Sometimes. Aabed looks at whether the suspension was correctly imposed, whether the demerit points add up, and whether there are grounds to appeal or to put a hardship case.
I have a court date soon. Is it too late?
No. Call as early as you can so there is time to get the brief and prepare. Do attend your court date: not appearing can lead to a warrant for your arrest.
How fast will I hear back?
Every call, email and text is answered within three hours, guaranteed. If Aabed is in court you will still get confirmation that your enquiry arrived. Urgent matters can call the 24/7 hotline.
Is Legal Aid available?
Anaki Lawyers lists Legal Aid as available. Ask in your first call whether your matter qualifies.
