Traffic Offences FAQ - I need my licence for child custody purposes?
Date: May 20, 2011
Q. Unfortunately I do not have a good driving record; I am separated from my wife who does not have a driver’s licence which means that I have to take my son to and from child care. Will this be taken into account although I have recently committed another driving offence?
A. Yes. The court takes a very poor view of repeated transgressions by drivers particularly where they are young and have a bad driving history. Courts often take into account these circumstances but more particularly where the offender’s continuing employment is likely to be affected.
