TO had his driver’s license suspended for ‘driving with an illicit substance present in oral fluid, urine or blood’, namely, methylamphetamine.
Chris Cole represented TO in his Appeal. Prior to appearing TO completed the Traffic Offenders Intervention Program. TO is self employed and reliant on his driver’s license to perform work. Chris Cole made submissions to the court on the likely effect of the driver’s license suspension on TO.
His Honour was of the view that a license suspension was unnecessary for the appealant and an Appeal was granted. Ultimately, His Honour revoked the suspension imposed by RMS.
This was a huge relief for TO as his driver’s license is essential to his financial stability.
