The Brisbane Drink Driving Lawyer team achieved a terrific result for our client at Brisbane Magistrates Court recently.
Our client was charged with High Range Drink Driving after having blown a reading of 0.270.
This was more than 5 times over the legal limit.
Our client was also involved in a heavy collision.
Our client also had a previous Drug Driving conviction in the last 5 years.
Our client was at real risk of being charged with either Dangerous Operation or Careless Driving, both could attract periods of imprisonment.
Our client engaged us prior to being charged, and we successfully facilitated an outcome that saw them only charged with the DUI.
As our client’s reading was above 0.150, they were not eligible for a DUI Drink Driving Work Licence.
We advised our client of the numerous steps they should take prior to going to court.
We were able to take advantage of an error in police documentation that meant the previous Drug Driving conviction could be ignored.
Our client faced a maximum lifetime licence disqualification.
We prepared detailed submissions of the relevant legislation and case law.
We made powerful verbal submissions to the Magistrate.
We were successful in persuading the Magistrate to impose no more than a 10 month licence disqualification and a modest fine.
Our client was very happy.
