Will You Have to Go to Court for Low Range Drink Driving? Yes, a low range drink driving charge is going to involve a trip to Court.
Because of this, we recommend not trying to deal with the charge yourself and engage a lawyer instead.
Does Low Range Drink Driving Result in a Conviction?
The starting position is that you’ll have a traffic conviction recorded if you are found guilty of low range drink driving charge.
In some cases, your lawyer might be able to argue that no conviction should be recorded, but that’s something on which you would need to get specific advice for your situation.
Things that Make the Penalty Worse include, for example: if you refuse to provide police with a breath or blood specimen when asked to do so; you’ve been charged with dangerous operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence; if you have an earlier drink driving charge that hasn’t been heard yet; and you have previous charges of drink driving within the last 5 years;
For repeated drink driving offences you might have your car impounded, your licence disqualified for an extended period, a larger fine, a Alcohol Ignition interlock or potentially a term of imprisonment. You can get in touch here, and we’d be happy to help
