No Conviction for Mid Range Drink Driving

Our Client is a 32 year old man who was caught with an 0.099 blood alcohol reading through a random breath test. He was subsequently charged with driving with mid-range PCA.

He came to us distraught at the thought of facing a lengthy disqualification period, which would mean he would have to close his delivery business.

We obtained character references from his friends and family setting out his need for a licence. We also obtained medical documents which highlighted that he was seeking help for his alcohol use. Further, we assisted him in preparing an apology letter to the court and complete a traffic offenders program.

Our criminal lawyers in Parramatta appeared at Parramatta Local Court and made submissions seeking a conditional release order without conviction.

Despite the Police seeking a conviction and disqualification, the Magistrate ultimately was persuaded that our client had strong needs for a licence and was engaging in rehabilitation. His Honour recorded a 12-month conditional release order with no conviction.

Our client was overjoyed that he could continue to take care of his family without a conviction or disqualification hanging over his head.
