Mid range drink driving on Green P's

Postby littlesister » August 12th, 2012, 2:29 pm

I was arrested for mid-range drink driving and not wearing p2 plates. My blood alcohol reading was 0.083. This is my first offence. Can anyone tell me what kind of penalties/suspension i would be looking at. Thanks.

For a mid range, on conviction there is a minimum disqualification of 6 months and an automatic of 12. The maximum penalty for mid-range is imprisonment, but the most common penalty is a fine or a good behaviour bond.

The court can choose to not record a conviction against you (meaning you would avoid a criminal record and a disqualification), but given you are on your P's that would be a fantastic result.

Hope that helps!
