Traffic matters and the Local Court process
The NSW Local Court deals with a range of summary criminal and driving matters. General traffic categories may include:
- PCA: prescribed concentration of alcohol allegations.
- DUI: driving under the influence allegations. See NSW DUI offences.
- Prescribed-drug driving: allegations involving a prohibited or prescribed drug.
- Required sample allegation: an allegation of refusing or failing to provide a required breath, oral-fluid or other sample.
- Related licence allegation: a connected driving, licence or disqualification matter. See NSW drug driving offences for general background.
A Court Attendance Notice and the current official listing control the venue, date, time and courtroom. A Manly address or the type of allegation does not establish that a particular case is listed at Manly Local Court, and this page does not predict an outcome.
Preparing for a listed appearance
- Read the Court Attendance Notice and record the court, date, time, allegations and any courtroom information.
- Keep police documents, licence correspondence, court notices and earlier court material together for orderly review.
- Confirm whether the listing is a first mention, plea, sentencing event, adjournment or another procedural step; the DUI court process guide provides general background.
- Allow time for travel, entry procedures and locating the courtroom, and review the general DUI penalties information without treating it as a prediction for an individual matter.
