RI was charged with three driving offences— ‘Exceed speed limit >20km/h’, ‘disobey red no right turn signal’ and ‘disobey marked line’.
Chris Cole represented RI in this matter. Chris negotiated with Police that in exchange for pleas of guilty on the first two offences, the police will withdraw the third offence. It was a successful negotiation for RI and the plea offer was accepted with the third offence withdrawn.
RI was sentenced for the offences he pleaded guilty on. In relation to the speeding offence, Her Honour convicted RI and fined him $550. In relation to the other offence, Her Honour placed him on a Conditional Release Order subject to a good behaviour for a period of 6 months with no conviction.
Regarding demerit points, it was also a success for RI having only accrued 4 demerit points from the speeding offence, instead of having 9 for the three offences.
