If you are charged with a traffic offence
If you are charged you will have to go to court. You will need to decide if you are going to plead guilty or not guilty. You can represent yourself at court but we strongly recommend that you get legal advice first.
If you are found guilty, a magistrate will decide what penalties to give you.
