Driving Case Studies and Articles
Driving Case Studies and Articles
Have you been charged with a drink driving charge? We have an extensive number of articles about drink driving charges and other general drink driving articles on this website. The Courts are imposing tougher penalties for drink driving in recent times and they are cases that need to be prepared carefully.
Terms for drink driving charges range from exceed .05, DUI (driving under the influence), exceed PCA, section 49 (1)(b), section 49 (1)(f) , or sometimes culpable driving charges or dangerous driving causing death.
Some major issues in drink driving cases are;
- "Have the Police complied with all the necessary requirements?" Drink drive cases are often very complex and rely on very technical defences. It requires a sound knowledge of the law in relation to drink driving.
- "How do we put my charge in context of my many drink driving prior convictions?" (There are many explanations that can be made –spontaneous nature, personal circumstances of work and family, length of time between appearances, low readings, liver function tests etc)
- "What can we show to say you have changed since this drink driving?" (We advise as to what courses or steps may be useful)
We have great experience in these matters. We have regular in-housetraining on drink driving charges as it is an important part of our Firm’s work.
