Traffic matters and the Local Court process
The NSW Local Court deals with summary criminal and driving matters. A traffic matter may involve one or more of these general categories:
- PCA allegations: driving with a prescribed concentration of alcohol, commonly called a drink-driving matter.
- DUI allegations: driving under the influence of alcohol or another substance.
- Prescribed-drug driving: allegations involving a prohibited or prescribed drug detected through the relevant testing process.
- Required sample allegations: refusing or failing to provide a required breath, blood or other sample.
- Related licence allegations: traffic or driving allegations connected with licence status, conditions or consequences.
These categories are explained generally on NSW DUI offences and NSW drug-driving offences. The Court Attendance Notice, later court correspondence and current official listing control the venue, date and attendance requirements. An offence type or connection with Burwood does not itself establish that a matter will be heard there.
Preparing for a listed appearance
- Read the Court Attendance Notice and record the listed court, date, time, alleged offences and any courtroom detail.
- Keep the notice, police paperwork, licence correspondence and previous court documents together for orderly review.
- Check whether the matter is listed for a first mention, plea, sentencing or another procedural event, using the general DUI court process information as background.
- Review general information about NSW DUI penalties, recognising that it cannot assess an individual matter or predict an outcome.
