What is Drink Driving?

Drink driving occurs when a person operates a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. In Australia, there are strict blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limits that all drivers must adhere to. The legal limit varies depending on the type of driver:

• Standard drivers: 0.05 BAC.
• Learner or provisional drivers: Zero tolerance – any alcohol in the system can result in a charge.
• Heavy vehicle drivers: Lower BAC limits, often 0.02.

Penalties for Drink Driving

Penalties for drink driving depend on various factors such as your BAC level, your driving history, and whether you’ve previously been convicted for similar offences. Common penalties include:

• Fines.
• Demerit points.
• License suspension or disqualification.
• Imprisonment in extreme cases.

Possible Defences for Drink Driving Charges

There are several defences you may be able to raise, including:

• Incorrect readings from breath or blood tests.
• Faulty equipment or procedural errors during the test.
• Medical conditions that affect BAC readings.
