Which court would hear the offence of speeding in a school zone when it first becomes a court matter? (A) Drug Court (B) Local Court (C) District Court (D) Supreme Court - HSC - SSCE Legal Studies - Question 2 - 2014 - Paper 1

The offence of speeding, particularly in a school zone, is typically classified as a minor traffic violation. When such an offence first becomes a court matter, it generally falls under the jurisdiction of the Local Court. Local Courts handle less serious criminal matters, including traffic infringements, which is why this type of offence would be addressed there initially.
