The Brisbane Drink Driving Lawyer team achieved an outstanding result for our client at Caboolture Magistrates Court recently.
Our client was charged with Drug Driving.
There are two different offences relating to drug driving.
Our client was charged with simply having the presence of a drug in their saliva.
Our client was eligible for a Drug Driving Work Licence, however elected not to apply.
Our client faced a maximum licence disqualification period of 9 months.
The mandatory minimum licence disqualification is 1 month.
Our client had an overseas holiday booked.
They were concerned that the recording of a conviction would jeopardise that holiday.
Whilst Drug Driving offences are traffic convictions, not criminal convictions, we were instructed to make the submissions that no conviction be recorded.
We prepared detailed submissions of the relevant legislation and case law.
We made strong verbal submission to the Magistrate.
We persuaded the Magistrate to impose the mandatory minimum disqualification period of 1 month, and no conviction was recorded.
Our client was very happy.
