Burwood Drink Driving Solicitors – Low Range DUI Lawyers Update from Sydney Traffic Lawyers

Burwood Court – Low Range DUI (June 2014)

Hi guys its Joshua Boorman from SydneyDrinkDriving.com.au

I just wanted to give you a quick update in relation to a Low Range PCA matter that I represented in the Burwood Local Court about a week ago. The matter was listed before her Honour, basically my client had been charged with a Low Range PCA offence as his blood alcohol racing was 0.069 which sits well into the low range threshold. He was 53 years old and owns his own building, design & constructions business. So in other words his need for a drivers license is absolutely crucial to the operate his business and his ability to earn an income.

His traffic history was not all that bad in the last 5 years he had not had any entries on his traffic history and he had been driving since the late 1970’s so he had been driving for quite a considerable amount of time. In the early years that he had his license he did have a number of entries in his history but really over the last 10 to 20 years there has only been 5 or 6 minor traffic infringements that have been entered on history traffic record.

Now a traffic history is something that the Police Prosecution will provide to the Magistrate and it is something that the Magistrate will give heavy consideration to when dealing with the existing or current charges before the Court. Because my client had a good strong traffic history, this was well received by her honour. In addition my client voluntarily went and completed the fully approved 6 week Traffic Offender Program course which was located at Blacktown and this is something that he took part in diligently and completed to a high standard.

My client was able to get some character references from other people and colleagues who he has worked with in the building industry, this enabled the Court to view my client’s character in a more professional capacity. He was also able to get his wife to prepare a written character reference for the Court and this was able to give the Magistrate a more personal insight into how the incident came about, how my client has handled the charges brought against him and further to give the Court an insight into his overall remorse for his offending behaviour.

I then got my client to put a personal statement together from himself in order to give the Court a more personal and direct view of what he had leant throughout the Traffic Offenders Program and also the level of contrition and remorse that he feels towards his offending behaviour.

This statement was very well received by the Magistrate because she could actually see the lessons that my client had learnt and taken away after having completed the Traffic Offenders Program. She was happy that he had completed the Traffic Offenders Program and displayed the lessons that he had learnt. Her Honour took into account my clients strong traffic history.

What was the Court Result for this Low Range DUI?

Her honour ended up handing down a section 10(1)(b) which basically meant that my client was placed on a good behaviour bond for 6 months. He was not convicted of the offence, his license was not disqualified and he did not receive a fine.

My client was absolutely over the moon with this result and really happy. It was the first drink driving type of offence and first major traffic offence that he had ever been involved with. It was a very stressful period and he was really facing a huge loss of income from his work if he was unable to drive. So being able to learn the lessons that he did from this incident and also being able to continue to earn an income was the best result we could have go for this gentleman.

He was really happy with this result and i sincerely believe that he it has been a major life lesson that he learnt and he is the sort of person at the age of 53 yrs who has committed the offence will not be back before the Courts again in the future.

So that was a great result and I just want to say to anyone out there who has been charged with a Drink Driving offence or an Alcohol Related Traffic offence there is help out there, it can be a stressful and trying period to go through and a time where you simply don’t know what to do. But if you do have a charge against you of a similar nature then I would recommend that you go and visit our website which is located at SydneyDrinkDriving.com.au
