This page provides general information only and is not legal advice. Criminal driving matters can be urgent and consequence-heavy. Do not miss court, drive while suspended, speak to police, ignore licence paperwork, or make decisions about your case without legal advice.
Local Planning Notes

Video may be available briefly
Dashcam footage, business video, plaza cameras, doorbell video, photos, vehicle data, and witness names should be preserved promptly.
Licence consequences should be planned
Insurance, employment driving, family transportation, immigration, travel, and record concerns should be reviewed before decisions are made.

Common Questions
Dangerous driving questions Westgate clients often ask.
Can parking-area incidents lead to dangerous driving charges?
They can, depending on the facts, but the Crown must still prove the criminal standard.
Can video from nearby businesses help?
Yes. It may show timing, visibility, vehicle movement, pedestrians, and whether a witness account is complete.
Can I keep driving after being charged?
That depends on your licence status and paperwork. Get advice before driving.
