No Conviction, No Fine and Not Even a Disqualification for Drink Driver

In temporary lapse of judgement, one of our client’s blew a low range reading at an RBT station whilst returning home from a night out with friends.  They had consumed several glasses of wine before deciding to drive and blew over the 0.05 alcohol limit for unrestricted licence holders.

The first time offender was charged with low range PCA under section 110(3)(a) of the Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW). They faced a criminal conviction and a fine up to $1100, both penalties carrying heavy consequences and worrying impacts on their day to day life.

Our client contacted Oxford Lawyers immediately and was referred to Ms Lisa Dao, Criminal Defence Lawyer.  Ms Dao worked extremely hard to prove that our client simply had a temporary lapse of judgement by our client and completely out of character. The court agreed with her arguments and dismissed the charge pursuant to section 10 as she was successfully able to show that our client was remorseful for his actions.

As a result of Ms Dao’s submissions, our client received a 12 month good behaviour bond without a criminal conviction, driving suspension or fine. Our client was able to retain their employment, which required them to travel to and from work, and their future job prospects remained unaffected.

If not for the hard work and dedication put in at Oxford Lawyers, our client may not have achieved the same result. They were sincerely grateful for the time, effort and preparation put into their case as well as the genuine levels of commitment and professionalism shown by our staff.
