Platinum Family Lawyers Sydney Parramatta

Need an affordable lawyer to challenge your Drink Driving offence?
Drink Driving offences are among the most common offences dealt with by Local Courts in New South Wales. If you have been charged with a Drink Driving offence you may be comforted by the fact that you certainly are not alone. Individuals from all walks of life, regardless of their trade or profession fall into this common error.

Notwithstanding its common nature, drink driving is a serious offence and it always treated as such. In recent times Magistrates have been directed to take a more hardline approach on offenders. Depending on the seriousness of the charge the consequences can be very severe, and in extreme cases may result in a term of imprisonment.

The average individual is unlikely to go to jail for an offence of Drink Driving, though frighteningly lengthy licence disqualification periods apply.

Upon a conviction for a Drink Driving offence, automatic licence disqualification apply. Therefore the only way to avoid an automatic licence disqualification is to avoid a conviction. There are two ways in which you can avoid a conviction:

Enter a plea of guilty to the offence of Drink Driving and request that the court not record a conviction (commonly referred to as a Section 10); and
Enter a plea of not guilty and successfully contest the charge.
Although challenging a charge of Drink Driving is possible, more often than not the circumstances warrant a plea of guilty. Hence for most people obtaining a Section 10 is the only way to avoid licence disqualification.

Our Drink Driving Lawyers understand that the loss of a drivers licence for any period can be a catastrophic occurrence, you may be at risk of losing job or have no way to take the children to school.

It is important to consult an experienced Drink Driving lawyer to ensure that your chances of avoiding a licence disqualification or reducing the licence disqualification is maximised. Our Drink Driving Lawyers have extensive experience in drawing the court’s attention to your relevant circumstances which ensures you have the best chance of keeping your driver’s licence.

Benjamin Leonardo The Defenders

Benjamin & Leonardo is highly experienced and one of the best Drink Driving Lawyers in Sydney. Drink driving is a serious, criminal offence and should never be thought upon lightly. However, despite the negative social stigma and serious penalties involved, people still continue to drink and drive. In fact, statistics show that drink driving is a factor in more than 20% of all fatal crashes in NSW and accounts for approximately 100 fatalities annually. As a result, the Court takes such offences seriously by imposing several penalties which can have a subsequent impact on an individual’s liberty and lifestyle.

The offence of drink driving is found under section 110 of the Road Transport Act. In order to best understand the offence, it is important to have a sound understanding of Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol (PCA). Commonly referred to as a blood alcohol reading, PCA measures the amount of alcohol in grams per 100mL of blood. This reading is crucial in drink driving cases, as a higher PCA generally results in more significant penalties. In NSW law, drink driving penalties are enforced as per the below categorisation.

Novice Range: PCA – 0.001 to 0.019
Special Range: PCA – 0.02 to 0.049
Low Range: PCA – 0.05 to 0.079
Mid Range: PCA – 0.08 to 0.149
High Range: PCA – 0.150 and above
It is also important to be aware that in NSW, there is a legal limit of 0.05 PCA for fully licensed drivers, therefore, novice range and special range drink driving is not an offence for these individuals. Alternatively, provisional licence holders must adhere to an alcohol reading of 0, whereby any of the above offences will apply.

At Benjamin Leonardo – The Defenders, we are possessing over 29 years of experience in criminal and traffic related offences. Our experienced drink driving lawyers based in Sydney have represented many similar cases and are proud to hold a 90% success rate for all criminal charges we have defended.

If you, or somebody you know needs an experienced drink driving lawyer to achieve the best possible outcome for a drink driving offence, contact Benjamin Leonardo – The Defenders, for an appointment.
