man that sucks!
What is the procedure for DUI in NSW? Are you issued an infringement? Or do you have to go for a ride back to the cop shop?
Yeah got arrested, went back to station for another breath test and questioning.. The horrible part was that I didn't even have a drink on Saturday, the alcohol was still in my system from Friday night. I didn't feel drunk at all.
ok well theres your defence right there mate , and you must express this to the judge when you go to court and say this before you enter a plea as sometimes a judge can say yeah that could happen to even him so first offence and you still had booze from night before ..
but tell me this -->
1.What time was your last drink and how many hours if any did you sleep before waking up and getting behind the wheel & did you consume any food before driving.
2.Have you got any other driving offences against you , speeding etc
3.Are you fully licensed with no P license or anything ?
When you go to court you must explain that you had been drinking night before and had a good nights sleep and even had something small to eat before driving and you NEVER ever drink and drive and are very ashamed of this.
The judge cant really change the loss of license for 3 months but he can say no fine.So you will lose your license for 3 months and that be it...
Someone I know has been done 5 times in 10 years for dui and he ended up doing community service and weekend detention.
People think the judge can decide how many points you lose or whatever but this is not the case involving dui so if you blow a positive reading for drugs or alcohol.
Sometimes police are cool and let you eat something or take a piss or drink some water and wait 15 mins before they test you again but if you fail after that then unless the cops your brother , sister or spouse then you got no chance of going home without the full treatment.
So bottom line your gonna lose ya license for 3 months but you may get away with $50 court costs only aslong you make every effort to be honest when you go to court.
Let us know how you go ok ...
A lawyer won't help unless you need your car for work and get a work license.
Lucky I am quitting drinking soon.
Aren't we all???
