Traffic Fines
Traffic Practice Area: Traffic Fines Specialisation
The Traffic practice area, especially the Traffic Fines specialisation, focuses on helping people in New Zealand who have received fines for traffic offences. This can include things like speeding, running a red light, or not wearing a seatbelt.
What Are Traffic Fines?
Traffic fines are penalties given to drivers who break the road rules. For example, if you are caught speeding, you might receive a fine in the mail. This fine is a way to encourage safe driving and to keep everyone on the road safe.
