Favourable Outcome for Client in Middle Range Drink Driving Offence

Boorman Lawyers Burwood Drink Driving Lawyer recently represented a client in a middle range drink driving offence at Burwood Local Courthouse. This was the client’s second middle range offence in the past two years, and as a P-Plater, she was subject to a zero blood alcohol limit. However, she recorded a blood alcohol rating of 0.109 while driving with a passenger and attempted to evade police during the random breath test (RBT), which aggravated the matter.

With extensive legal experience and a deep understanding of the law, Boorman Lawyers fought for their client’s rights and secured a favourable outcome. The client received a six-month minimum license disqualification backdated to the time of the offence, a 24-month interlock mandatory program, a $500 fine, an 18-month good behaviour bond under her community corrections order, and a six-month alcohol abstinence order.

Six-Month Minimum License Disqualification

Boorman Lawyers successfully argued for a minimum six-month license disqualification, which would be backdated to the time of the offence. This allowed the client to return to driving as soon as possible after completing the required disqualification period.

24-Month Interlock Mandatory Program

The client was also required to participate in a 24-month interlock mandatory program. An interlock device is installed in the client’s vehicle, which requires the driver to provide a breath sample before starting the car. If alcohol is detected, the car will not start. This program is mandatory for all middle and high-range drink driving offenders in New South Wales.

$500 Fine

In addition to the license disqualification and interlock program, the client was ordered to pay a $500 fine. The fine serves as a penalty for the offence and is designed to deter the client from repeating similar actions in the future.

18-Month Good Behaviour Bond

The client was also placed on an 18-month good behaviour bond under her community corrections order. A good behaviour bond requires the client to comply with certain conditions, such as regularly reporting to a probation officer and not committing any further offences during the bond period. If the client breaches the bond, they may face further legal action.

Six-Month Alcohol Abstinence Order

Finally, the client was ordered to abstain from consuming alcohol for six months. This order aims to help the client understand the severity of their actions and avoid any future drink driving offences.
