Thanks Prashanth,
A section 10 is a sentencing option for the Magistrate. Effectively, it is a finding of guilt without proceeding to a conviction. If you are not convicted you cannot be fined or disqualified from driving either.
When considering a section 10, the Court takes into account a number of factors, such as the person's age, traffic record and history and their general character. I would also strongly suggest attendance at a Traffic Offenders Program and obtaining character references for your sentencing hearing.
If you would like to give me a call on (02) 9261 4555 I would be happy to assist you and provide further information based on your individual circumstances
