DUI PENALTIES

Below you will find two sets of tables outlining DUI penalties pursuant to their specific offence and relevant to whether or not it is a first offence or second or subsequent offence.

You will see that there is a “Maximun Fine” penalty which outlines the maximum monetary fine that a Court can impose for a specific offence.

Also you will see that there is a “Maximum Jail” penalty which highlights the potential maximum sentence that a Court can impose for a specific offence.

In relation to the period of suspension for an offence there is an “Automatic Disqualification” period and a “Minimum Disqualification” period. Basically the difference between these two disqualification penalties is that if you turn up to Court without any preparation, no charcater references, not arguing any extenuating circumstances and having made no attempt to educate, rehabilitate or prevent such behaviour from occurring again then you will more than likely be looking at receiving the ”Automatic Disqualification” period or even higher.

However, if you decide to engage our legal representation we will sit down with you and carefully devise a strategic plan to obtain the best result possible. By choosing our firm to act on your behalf will will give you every opportunity to getting a better outcome for you matter.
