Individuals who operate a vehicle in a manner deemed dangerous and subsequently injure someone are charged with Dangerous Driving Causing Injury. For those facing this charge for the first time, the gravest possible penalty includes a lifetime ban on driving across the nation, alongside a fine of 200 penalty units (currently valued at $154.80 each, for a total maximum fine of $30,920), and the possibility of up to 10 years in prison. In cases where the defendant was under the influence, significantly over the speed limit, participating in a race, or fled the scene, the imprisonment term can extend to up to 14 years. Given the court's stringent view on cases involving injury, obtaining expert and specialised legal representation for such an offence is crucial.

To be frank, not going to jail. The best possible outcome for a first time Dangerous Driving Causing Injury offence is avoiding actual imprisonment, a 6 month driver’s licence disqualification and fine.
