If you register a blood alcohol reading between 0.05 and 0.099, you'll be charged with Low Range Drink Driving. For first time offenders in this range, the most severe consequence entails a 9 month nationwide licence disqualification, a fine of 20 penalty units (valued at $154.80 each at present, totaling a maximum fine of $3084), and potentially 6 months of imprisonment. However, imprisonment for a first offence in this category is improbable, particularly if there was no physical harm caused. Nevertheless, if injuries were sustained, imprisonment becomes a genuine possibility. Therefore, it's crucial to seek expert legal representation for your Low Range Drink Driving charge, especially if you're a repeat offender. It's worth noting that individuals without proper legal representation often receive disqualifications of 6 months or more for a first time Low Range Drink Driving offence.
