This is a case study on drink driving and other traffic offences that led to a sentence of a good behaviour bond.
What is alleged to have occured?
Our client was facing several traffic offences which include both drink driving and non-drink driving. The drink driving offences arose from a blood alcohol concentration reading of 0.1%.
What happened at court?
We acted on the client’s behalf at the Heidelberg Magistrates’ Court on the following charges:
Amendments to the Prosecution Summary were made in regards to some aggravating facts that were not consistent with what really occurred according to our client. We made submissions to the court emphasising on our client’s willingness to take responsibility for his actions. We highlighted the fact that our client had never reoffended during his suspension period.
What was the result?
The Magistrate ultimately sentenced our client to a good behaviour bond.
