THE GATTON DRINK DRIVING LAWYERS
Drink driving (DUI) in Gatton is one of the most common traffic offences, causing people to go to the Gatton Magistrates Court. People from all walks of life are charged with drink driving in Gatton. Drink-driving offences can apply to not only drivers but also those who attempt to put a vehicle in motion or are considered to be in charge of a vehicle.
The Gatton Magistrates Court treats drink driving seriously, and this is reflected in the penalties. In some situations, a drink driving charge can cause a person to be sent to prison. In some circumstances, the law says the Court must send a person to jail.
The penalties for drink driving (DUI) depend on several factors, including:
♦ the circumstances of the driving.
♦ your antecedents (age, background, etc.).
♦ if you have a prior criminal or traffic history.
♦ the type of driver licence held by you at the time of the offence (if any).
♦ Your blood Alcohol Concentration level (BAC) while driving.
♦ the type of vehicle that was being driven.
The Transport Operations and Road Use Management Act 1995 (Qld) governs drink-driving offences. This legislation is very complicated, and many different penalties are applicable depending on the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and whether or not a person has previously been convicted of a traffic offence or offences under the Criminal Code involving driving.
