Solicitors Near Me Caboolture achieved a very good outcome for our client at Caboolture Magistrates Court earlier this month.
Our client was charged with Mid Range Drink Driving, after having blown a reading of 0.147.
This was our client's first DUI charge.
Given our client provided a blood alcohol reading of 0.149 or below, they were eligible to apply for a DUI Drink Driving Work Licence, however due to the client’s personal circumstances, we were instructed not to do so.
Due to our client's reading, they faced a maximum licence disqualification of 12 months.
The Mandatory minimum licence disqualification for readings between 0.100 and 0.149 is 3 months.
Again, our client had a reading of 0.147.
This was our client’s first interaction with the court and they were quite nervous.
We prepared detailed submissions of the relevant legislation and case law.
We made solid verbal submission to the Magistrate.
We were successful in persuading the Magistrate to impose no more than a 4 month licence disqualification and a modest fine. Our client was very relieved.
