Our Defence Approach - Goulburn Heavy Vehicle Lawyers

At Highway Advocates, our Goulburn Heavy Vehicle Lawyers understand that most truck drivers and transport operators are not criminals — they’re hard working blokes and ladies working to keep this country moving.

The HVNL and Road Transport Act are complex and often enforced harshly. 

Between tight delivery schedules, fatigue management rules, and weighbridge inspections, even small mistakes can lead to serious Heavy Vehicle Offences or NHVR prosecutions.

Our job is to protect you, your licence and your livelihood. 

We know what it takes to stand up to the NHVR, NSW Police, and Transport for NSW.

How We Defend You

Understanding the Situation
We take time to understand your work conditions — long hours, scheduling pressures, and the realities of the road between Sydney and Melbourne.

Analysing the Evidence
Our Goulburn Heavy Vehicle Lawyers carefully examine weighbridge records, logbooks, Safe-T-Cam data and NHVR evidence for inconsistencies or procedural errors.

Challenging the Process
We know how the NHVR and Police build their cases at the Marulan Weighbridge (Marulan Weighstation) and Goulburn Local Court. Our lawyers identify flaws in their methods, missing evidence or unfair assumptions about how you work.

Negotiation First, Defence Always
Whenever possible, we negotiate to have charges reduced, dismissed, or dealt with without conviction — keeping you on the road and in work.

Court Representation
When negotiation isn’t enough, our experienced Traffic and Transport Lawyers appear in Goulburn Local Court and regional NSW courts, fighting to protect your right to drive and your family’s livelihood.

We highlight the real-world challenges of long-haul transport:

  • Fatigue management confusion

  • Logbook records and Safe-T-Cam discrepancies

  • Loading delays and unrealistic schedules

  • Positive work history and character references
