The Brisbane Drink Driving Lawyer team achieved a very good result for our client at Wynnum Magistrates Court recently.
Our client was charged with High Range Drink Driving after having provided a reading of 0.174.
This was our client's first Drink or Drug Driving offence.
As our client’s reading was above 0.150, they were not eligible for a Drink Driving Work Licence.
The mandatory minimum licence disqualification period is 6 months.
The maximum licence disqualification is a lifetime loss of licence.
We prepared thorough submissions of the relevant legislation and case law.
We made strong and effective verbal submission to the Magistrate.
We faced resistance from the Magistrate and prosecutor regarding penalty, however we were ultimately successful in persuading the Magistrate to impose no more than the minimum 6 month licence disqualification and a modest fine.
Our client was very satisfied with the result.
