Will I get a criminal record for driving suspended/disqualified?
If you are found or plead guilty to driving suspended or disqualified, the offence will be included in your criminal record, and you will lose your licence unless you get a section 10.
Section 10 is where the court dismisses the offence without recording a conviction. When the court has not recorded a conviction, you are not given a criminal record, do not go to prison or receive a fine, and keep your driver’s licence.
Our traffic lawyers are experts at obtaining section 10s for clients charged with driving suspended or disqualified.
