Individuals who drive in a way that is considered dangerous and consequently cause a fatality are charged with Dangerous Driving Causing Death. For first time offenders, the most severe consequence can include a permanent driving ban throughout the country, in addition to a fine of 200 penalty units (with each unit priced at $154.80, amounting to a total maximum fine of $30,920), and a potential prison sentence of up to 10 years. In situations where the accused was intoxicated, excessively speeding, involved in a race, or left the scene, they may face up to 14 years in prison. Considering the court's rigorous stance on cases resulting in death, securing expert and specialised legal representation for this type of offence is essential.

To put it plainly, the best possible outcome for a first time offender charged with Dangerous Driving Causing Death is to avoid actual jail time, along with a 6 month disqualification of the driver's licence and a fine.
