JB was charged with ‘driving with middle range PCA’ contrary to section 110 (4)(A) of the Road Transport Act 2013 after a finding of 0.114 blood alcohol concentration. The offence carries a maximum term of imprisonment for 9 months, a maximum fine of $2,200 or both for first offence.
Chris Cole represented JB and the matter came before the Sutherland Local Court.
Chris tendered materials including Affidavit and Character References on behalf of JB. The Presiding Magistrate imposed a fine of only $1,000 and a 3-month mandatory interlock order with no term of imprisonment.
With the seriousness of the driving offence, this is an impressive result for JB.
