Solicitors Near Me Proserpine achieved a fantastic result for our client at Proserpine Magistrates Court recently.
Our client was charged with their Third DUI Drink Driving offence within a 5 year period, as well as unlicensed driving.
Within the last 5 years our client had previously been charged on 2 occasions with DUI Drink Driving, with blood alcohol concentration readings of 0.063 and 0.109.
Once a Queenslander's court ordered licence disqualification has ended, they must, among other things, renew their licence.
Our client failed to do this.
Our client was also subject to a permissible blood alcohol concentration of zero throughout the initial 12 months after having had their licence reinstated.
On this occasion, our client provided a blood alcohol concentration of 0.045, when they were supposed to have been zero.
Our client faced a maximum lifetime loss of licence for the third DUI in 5 years offence, and the same for the unlicensed driving offence.
Our client should have faced a Mandatory Minimum 6 month licence disqualification for their third Drink Driving offence in 5 years.
However, due to an error in the paperwork, we were able to persuade the Magistrate to ignore the previous 2 Drink Driving charges.
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 5 month licence disqualification and a modest fine.
Our client was extremely happy.
