Drink Driving / Excess Alcohol

If you are convicted of drink driving you can expect to receive a mandatory disqualification for up to 3 years and a substantial fine.

If you a member of one of the professions, eg. barrister, solicitor, accountant, chartered surveyor or a doctor your professional body may itself impose additional sanctions for unbefitting conduct. Therefore if you value your licence and your career you should seek expert advice from a motorists solicitor to see if you can identify any defences, technical, legal or factual which may help you at least keep the period of your disqualification to a minimum.

MAXIMUM PENALTY

Mandatory disqualification for at least 12 months and up to 6 months imprisonment.

Mandatory disqualification of 36 months for a further offence within 10 years.
