In a word - imprisonment. Whilst it would be unusual for a first time offender to receive an actual jail term for their first Disqualified Driving offence, persons facing their second or third charge should be worried. A charge of Disqualified Driving will arise when a person continues to drive after having been already disqualified from driving by the court for an earlier offence, such as Drink Driving. The courts consider the breach of an order not to drive to be a contempt of court, and they take such contempt extremely seriously. You face an extremely high risk of actual imprisonment if you are a repeat Disqualified Driving offender. Further to a high risk of imprisonment, a person charged with Disqualified Driving faces up to a 5 year licence disqualification, and a fine of 40 penalty units (equivalent to $154.80 each currently, totaling a maximum fine of $6192). It is essential to seek expert legal representation for your Disqualified Driving charge. Persons without proper legal representation are often jailed for Disqualified Driving offences.
