A charge of driving while suspended is laid when a motorist drives during a driving suspension period of 3 calendar months. This suspension period follows 100 or more demerit points accumulated within any 2-year period. There are several reasons why a motorist may have chosen to drive throughout their suspension period, including but not limited to personal emergencies or work-related requirements.

The charge carries a minimum mandatory driving disqualification period of 6 months. If no defence is available, a client may be eligible for a discharge without conviction or a section 94 application to avoid a further period of disqualification from being imposed. However, a section 94 application is only available if the motorist has previously been disqualified upon conviction.
