Harsher Low Range Drink Driving Penalties

The NSW Government has announced changes to the laws surrounding Low Range Drink Driving . From 20 May 2019 , first-time lower range offenders will have their licences suspended for three months on-the-spot .

Changes have also been announced to Driving with Illicit Substance. First-time offenders who drive with the presence of illicit drugs will receive a three month licence suspension and a $561 fine if the offence is confirmed by laboratory analysis.

Despite an on-the-spot fine and suspension being imposed, you still have the right to appeal your fine and suspension before the Local Court.
If you are charged with any of the above offences, call our friendly staff on (02) 8815 8175 and make a booking for your complimentary first conference. The first conference is valued at $275.
