- UNLICENCED DRIVING OFFENCES
Driving with a suspended, cancelled or disqualified licence is an increasingly common offence in NSW, and in fact in other states across Australia.

Many people at some stage in their driving career find themselves in the unenviable position of losing their driver's licence. This can happen in a variety of ways but generally it arises either because too many demerit points are accrued or because a speeding offence of 30 or 45 kilometres per hour over the speed limit has been committed.
