In Korumburra, we commonly see first-time drink driving offences from locals caught after pub nights, repeat offenders facing mandatory imprisonment, high-range drink driving charges, and driving under the influence of drugs. Many cases involve workers who need their licence for employment, particularly in rural industries around the Gippsland region. We also handle matters involving breath test refusals, driving while disqualified, and unlicensed driving charges that often accompany drink driving offences in this area.
Drink driving penalties in Victoria are severe and life-changing. First-time low-range offences face licence disqualification for at least 6 months, fines up to $3,300, and a criminal record. Mid-range offences carry minimum 12-month licence loss and fines up to $5,500. High-range drink driving means automatic imprisonment up to 18 months, plus licence disqualification up to 2 years and fines reaching $8,800. Repeat offenders face mandatory imprisonment and extended licence losses. These convictions destroy employment prospects, affect insurance, restrict travel, and create lasting criminal records. Professional representation isn't optional — it's essential to minimise these devastating consequences and explore every possible defence or mitigation strategy.
