Drink Drive advice

A close relative has been done at .1 the morning after a wedding. He needs his licence (like most people do) as he works nights and days at different places all over south east QLD. Obviously it would be better if he did not get caught but he did. I advised him to get a solicitor to plead his case but he is reluctant. I was wondering if anyone here had experience with a DD charge with and without legal advice. Am I right in thinking he would get a better result if he engages the services of a legal representative or should he just rock up and say a thousand sorry's and hope for the judge to be having a good day? Interested to hear your experiences or opinions (not moral judgement's).

Terry....

He stayed at the reception venue as he had another job to go to the next day.

I don't know what exactly the rules are with getting one, but he maybe able to get an extraordinary licence.

You wont get off, you will still have a fine to pay and lose off points. If you can prove that it wasnt a result of reckless behaviour, he did party at the wedding, but he did allow for this by sleeping at the location and has got up to go to work and there has been some residual effects from alcohol concieved the night before
He should be able to get off, or keep his license suggesting it wasnt that reckless and he is a goid guy? Working and supporting others? Should be just a fine, remorse helps regardless of whether you think it matches the level of intend.

Do some research. I'm not going to tell you the name of the bloke I use, but the internet will. He has got me off every time. Not even a fine was incurred, although he is not cheap. Like they say, you get what you pay for.

touched a raw nerve there remo? Some of us have long memories...

Yes!!!! I'll say it, i find the whole transgender thing weird, so what, im not suggesting people cant transition but in comparision to my life it seems weird, and the age, kids before puberty and ol men like Jenner, its weird to me
So is kite boarding, thats not suggesting that they shouldnt be free to express themselves on equipment that was an after thought to an already established much more difficult pursuit, everyone can feel free to express themselves , but im still free to suggest i find it it strange or weird
There is nothing weird about you Remo, your a text book closet gay, possible transgender, sure, you play the whole gun totting, thats a pretty mouth boy routine, but i get the feeling you'd rather be putting lipstick on that pig rather than killing it and making love to it in what is in accordance with redneck tradition

The way I see it Drink drivers kill and injure way more people than sharks ever will.

So I reckon the police should be allowed to "Cull" them after a serious accident

For general drink driving a "catch and release" program. Catch the over the limit, drop them of in the middle of the Simpson Desert let them walk home.

For those who feel I am victimizing or that I am a bit harsh with my attitude towards drink drivers, I've been in constant pain for the last 30 years from my run in with a drink driver in 1985.

There is no excuse or justification for Drink Driving

call a taxi, friend or family member and have some sort of exit plan when getting on the swill.
no excuses for drink driving.

as for driving the next day after a big night on the turps.i was told never drive for 12 hours after your last drink.

recently i got drunk as ten men having my last drink about 1am ,the next day i need to attend an appointment
and felt like sh!t,i remembered the 12 hour rule but it was 12 o'clock ,,,but didn't trust it.
it so happen a cop was about 100m up the road visiting a home,i walked up the street and asked if i could be breath
tested,,,i blew 00

Pug, I'm not hurting anyone. So therefor I've done nothing wrong.
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make any noise?
If someone has a few and drives home, and doesn't have an incident, and noone sees them, is it a crime?
