Solicitors Near Me Chinchilla achieved a very good result for our client at Chinchilla Magistrates Court recently.
Our client was charged with High Range Drink Driving, after having provided a blood alcohol reading of 0.152.
Our client had no prior Drink Driving charges.
Given our client blew a reading of 0.150 or above, they were not eligible to apply for a DUI Drink Driving Work Licence.
The cut off for DUI Work Licence eligibility is 0.150.
Due to our client's reading, they faced a maximum licence disqualification of a lifetime disqualification.
The Mandatory Mandatory minimum licence disqualification for readings of 0.150 and above is 6 months.
Our client held concerns with regard to the recording of a conviction.
Drink Driving is a traffic offence, not a criminal offence, so Drink Driving convictions go on a person's traffic history, not their criminal history.
Nonetheless, our client wanted us to push for No Conviction Recorded.
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 6 month licence disqualification and a modest fine.
The Magistrate ordered there be No Conviction Recorded.
Our client was very impressed.
