Brisbane & Gold Coast Drink Driving Lawyers

Drink Driving Charges

In our experience, people charged with DUI offences can make the mistake of representing themselves in Court. It usually doesn’t end well.

In Queensland, there are 4 alcohol limits:

• No alcohol limit (0.00% or above);
• General alcohol limit (0.05% or above);
• Middle alcohol limit (0.10% or above);
• High alcohol limit (0.15% or above)

Depending upon your charge, the relevant category, your history, supporting evidence will collectively determine your sentence.

Do Not Represent Yourself in Court

Even though it may be the case that penalties imposed by Queensland Courts are relatively consistent, not every Magistrate will handle these matters in the same way. In other words, what one Magistrate may impose on you in relation to the penalty may be vastly different from another.

For this reason alone, having experienced Brisbane Drink Driving lawyers acting on your behalf in these matters is crucial. We not only know the law back to front, but we also understand through years of experience, the idiosyncrasies of different Magistrates.

Getting advice early with drink driving charges is imperative.
