OP, a company, was convicted with five (5) counts of ‘Failure to Nominate Driver’ contrary to section 188(1) of the Road Transport Act 2013. The maximum penalty for the offence is 100 penalty units which is equivalent to $11,000.00.
Chris Cole represented OP on this matter and appeared before Her Honour Magistrate Giles at the Downing Centre Local Court. OP was sentenced with the penalty of only $2,500.00 in relation to all five (5) counts OP was convicted with.
This is an outstanding result for OP considering that the last fine which was given to the company for that offence was $3,813.00.
