  2. WHAT TO DO IF YOUR LICENCE IS SUSPENDED UNDERSTANDING LICENSE SUSPENSION • New drivers are often way too excited about getting a driver’s license to worry about other things like license suspension. However, in Australia, driving is a fundamental part of daily life. We drive for our daily commute to work or while taking trips. • Due to its impact on our lifestyles, the privilege of driving also comes with certain responsibilities. To maintain road safety, drivers must adhere to stringent road laws. Violating these laws comes with a price that drivers must pay. License suspension is one such consequence of violating road laws. • Driving schools make it a point to teach new drivers about road rules to help them become responsible drivers and avoid penalties. Safer Drivers course and other similar programs are also designed to ensure drivers learn the importance of safe driving and cultivate it as a habit. • While it is important to learn safe driving techniques, understanding the reasons for license suspension and the steps for its reapplication is also essential. Let us explore the intricacies of license suspension in Australia.

  3. WHAT TO DO IF YOUR LICENCE IS SUSPENDED REASONS FOR LICENSE SUSPENSION • ACCUMULATION OF DEMERIT POINTS • SPEEDING OFFENSES • DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI) • UNPAID FINES • STOP DRIVING IMMEDIATELY • UNDERSTAND THE TERMS • RECEIVE AND REVIEW THE NOTICE

  4. WHAT TO DO IF YOUR LICENCE IS SUSPENDED RESPONDING TO THE SUSPENSION • APPEAL THE SUSPENSION : Sometimes the punishments are severe compared to the crime. If you also feel your suspension is unjust, you can contest it by appealing to the court. If you’re facing extenuating circumstances where your license suspension should be reconsidered, you can appeal with the local court to contest it. • APPLY FOR A HARDSHIP LICENSE : Some states in Australia grant relief for suspended licenses to drive under special circumstances. If you have specific conditions that necessitate driving, like work or medical appointments, you can apply for a hardship license. However, a hardship license is only given when the driver can prove significant hardship and legitimate need.

  5. WHAT TO DO IF YOUR LICENCE IS SUSPENDED REAPPLYING FOR YOUR LICENSE • COMPLETE ANY REQUIRED PROGRAMS : Complete any required programs, such as defensive driving courses or alcohol and drug education programs. Sometimes, reapplication for a license requires you to prove you’ve improved your driving skills or changed your approach to driving. This requires completing some required programs like defensive driving courses, safer drivers courses, or alcohol and drug education programs. • PAY OUTSTANDING FINES : Paying the fines on time is an important lesson that all drivers need to remember. If you have outstanding fines pay them all before you apply for reinstatement. • MEDICAL CLEARANCE : In case of suspension due to medical conditions, it is important to prove the same condition does not persist to consider you fit to drive. To prove this, you can obtain medical clearance before reapplying for your license. Once the suspension period is over and all conditions are met, you can apply to have your license reinstated by submitting an application, paying a reinstatement fee, and providing the necessary proof.

  6. Conclusion • No matter the reason, suspension of a driving license significantly affects an individual’s mobility, finances, and legal standing. For society, it highlights the severe consequences of violating traffic laws and the need to improve road safety. While a suspended license poses challenges, it also emphasises every individual’s responsibility to uphold road rules and safety standards. We need more awareness among drivers regarding road rules, reasons for license suspension, and a wish to become better, more responsible drivers. Driving schools like Onroad and instructors are instrumental in steering the new drivers towards that change. • Source Link [https://onroad.com.au/Blog/What-to-Do-if-Your-Licence-is-Suspended]
