Dangerous Driving

About dangerous driving

In Queensland, Dangerous driving or dangerous operation of a motor vehicle is one of the most serious of the traffic offences.
Dangerous Driving
It comes under s 328A of the Criminal Code in Queensland and can be charged in one of three ways:
  • Dangerous operation (can be dealt with in the Magistrates Court and carries a mandatory minimum six-month disqualification)
  • Dangerous operation causing grievous bodily harm
  • Dangerous operation causing death (to be dealt with on indictment)
Given the seriousness of these charges and the outcomes of driver’s licence disqualification and terms of imprisonment, you should obtain legal advice immediately if you are charged with any of the above three offences.
