There are three (3) ways your licence may be revoked in NSW:

·       cancelled by the RMS (for example not paying your traffic fines);

·       suspended by the Police or RMS (for example, loss of demerit points); or

·       disqualified in Court by a Magistrate of Judge.

If you have been caught driving without a licence and have been charged with driving whilst disqualified, this offence is viewed by the Courts as the most serious as it is in breach of a court order.

Range of Penalties for Driving Whilst Disqualified:

First Offence:

·   Fine of up to $3,300.00;

·   An automatic minimum disqualification period of 12 months

·   Possible imprisonment for a period of up to 18 months

Second or Subsequent Offence within Five Years:

·   Fine of up to $5,500.00;

·   An automatic minimum disqualification period of 2 years;

·   Possible imprisonment for a period of up to two years.
