Drink Driving Repeat Offender NSW

A driver convicted of three or more major offenses including the PCA offense is deemed a habitual traffic offender under this Act if he committed these offenses within five years.

They are then automatically declared disqualified without court order, from driving for five years unless the contrary is ordered by the Court. The Court has the authority to either extend or shorten the disqualification period. It can even issue an order of disqualification for life under the grounds specified by the Act and there were reasons given, and that the offender was disqualified to drive for a period of not less than three years.

A driver convicted of three or more major offenses, including drink driving, within 5 years is likely to be declared to be a habitual traffic offender. The result of this declaration is a further five year suspension of licence, on top of any Court disqualifications.
Upon application by the offender, the Court has the authority to alter the disqualification period.
