Individuals who operate vehicles dangerously on the road will be charged with Dangerous Driving. For those facing their first offence, the most severe consequences can include a possible lifetime ban on driving across the entire country, decided at the Magistrate's discretion, along with a fine of 200 penalty units (with each unit currently priced at $154.80, culminating in a maximum fine of $30,960), and the potential of up to 3 years in prison. The penalties escalate in situations resulting in injury or death. It's frequently observed that individuals lacking adequate representation in court often face actual prison time for their initial Dangerous Driving charge, especially when it involves causing injury or death.

For a first offence of Dangerous Driving where no injury or death has occurred, the optimal outcome includes a 6 month nationwide licence disqualification and a  fine. In cases where a valid defence is applicable and proves successful at trial, the most favourable result is a verdict of Not Guilty. The team at Wiseman Lawyers frequently achieves outcomes of a 6 month licence disqualification and a fine for clients facing their first charge of Dangerous Driving, and has successfully defended several clients at trial, resulting in Not Guilty verdicts.
