First-time offenders often don't realize how severe the penalties can be, while repeat offenders face mandatory licence disqualification and possible imprisonment.
Drink driving penalties in New South Wales are severe and escalate quickly. Low-range PCA carries fines up to $2,200 and licence loss for 3-6 months. Mid-range charges bring fines up to $3,300 and 6-12 months disqualification. High-range drink driving can result in fines up to $5,500, 12+ months licence loss, and up to 18 months imprisonment.
