Im seeking legal advice, Queensland emerald, None as of yet.

There are a couple of points that need to be covered, failing to following police directions, speeding, no licence which all three may result at penalty of up to $2,200 or jail time, but the important aspect is the impact of your current visa.

I invite you to take up the phone offer I have sent you to talk on the phone

You are facing a maximum of 24 months in jail.

You are facing having your visa cancelled and deported back to NZ after the jail time.

There are ways to deal with this matter so you do not go to jail or have your visa affected and invite you to take up the phone offer I sent you.

It does not change the points I raise above. Lets have a chat by the phone and I can get you on the right path.

Did you look at the offer.

I can wait for you when you have sufficient funds for a call. Preparing a defence is extremely important otherwise you will find that once you deported from one country you will have trouble travelling in the future.

The big issue you are facing is the impact on your visa. Because if you receive a charge and jail time, the department of immigration will be notified.

You are on a NZ passport right ?

The charges against you even as a first offence will go to your character.

Where you are charged with jail time you right to remain in Australia may be cancelled.

Yes you can avoid jail time, but you need to prepare a very good defence. So I invite you to talk on the phone so I can help you.

As a first offence and if you plead it correctly you may be able to get the find down to around $650 and licence suspension for 6 months. Subject to the facts.

Yes. Every occurs for a reason and you need to explain very carefully these points.

There are various defences that you can raised to assist in minimising the penalty that will apply.

Some of these defence include sudden emergency, duress, compulsion, coercion, provocation.

One of the main supporting factors in running your case is to obtain affidavits in support of your position. These affidavits are character references to your person. The affidavit should detail the person who signs it, knows of the offence that has been raised against you, and that you still hold a character. Your should obtain a minimum of three character references in support.

In addition usually when an event happens, there is always a reason for it to occur, and especially when you are on the defensive side you can reduce the penalty level by providing some information as to what is happening in your life. One of the appropriate ways to achieve this is through a psychologist report which is court ready. In order to obtain this report, what you will need to do, is have at lease a minimum of 3 visits with a psychologist who can then prepare the report in support of your current state of mind and what such incident did occur.

Stresses in people’s lives can have an enormous impact on what happens to a person.

A well rounded defence will cover various aspects of the incident and why that incident occur.

Preparing a defence will take time and skill.

It is good that you have very supportive family.

The issue with penalties today are serious as they go to character. Now most work places are asking for national police checks to be done.

When a new prospective employer sees certain offences recorded on the certificate this will go to the character of the person and have a high potential to impact employment.

The defence you prepare must be solid to make sure what ever is record by the court is the minimum that is possible.

You need to consider the bigger picture in respect to the future as well as the incident that has occurred.

All traffic offences are stated on the national police check.

The key is to prepare a defence that minimise the wording on the same.

Courts are busy places, and if your defence is not structure properly you will get the maximum penalty.

yes you can avoid a jail term, and yes you can minimise the impact of the penalty, but the key is preparing a proper defence, as you will only have limited time in the court to present it.

yes.

One of the important factors that you will need to consider with your defence is why the action took place, the way it did. If you can demonstrate this carefully to the court, you may even have the charges dropped. But this will require expert reports on the same.

There is a reason why an event or action by a person happens.

As example, you you failed to stop when instructed. The aim is to demonstrate why you did not stop. The reasons that you panicked will not suffice in the court, subject to your age.

What you will need to do is provide psychologist reports that support the reason for the impulsive action that occurred. This report will in aid your your defence and reduce the penalty significant in part with other factors.

If you prepare your defence carefully you can have the penalty reduced significantly
