Charged with drink-driving (low-range), avoids criminal conviction

R v DM

DM was charged with ‘drive with low-range PCA’ contrary to section 110 of the Road Transport Act 2013.

Chris Cole represented DM and obtained extensive subjective material in order to prepare for his matter.

DM came before the Downing Centre Local Court and the presiding Magistrate accepted this material, and chose not to record a conviction. DM was placed on a Conditional Release Order for the duration of 12 months pursuant to section 10(1)(b) of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999.

This was a great result for DM as he avoided a criminal record.
