Sydney DUI Lawyer
In New South Wales the Courts take a very serious approach when
dealing with offencesof Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and
driving whilst over the PrescribedConcentration of Alcohol (PCA).
Subsequently there are very harsh penalties for these
types of drink driving offences and the gravity of the penalties
will largely depend on thelevel of your Blood Alcohol Concentration
(BAC) and whether or not you have beenconvicted of a similar
offence in the past.
In recent times the Courts and traffic laws in New South Wales
have bowed to publicdemand to take a more serious and tougher
approach when dealing with drink drivingmatters. Understandably the
higher your BAC, then the higher your monetary fine andthe longer
your period of disqualification will be.
We will advise you on whether or not there are any merits in
defending your DUI or PCAcharge, whether your BAC reading was
accurate and whether the police observe timelimits and other
procedural requirements. If you have been charged with a DUI or
PCA
offence then generally penalties of disqualification and
monetary fine will apply,however if you have previous convictions
of a similar nature then you could be classedas a Habitual Offender
and maybe subject to a term of imprisonment.
