If your breath test registers between 0.100 and 0.149, you'll be charged with Mid Range Drink Driving. For first time offenders falling in this category, the most severe penalty is a nationwide licence disqualification of 12 months, a fine of 20 penalty units, and a potential 6 months imprisonment. Each penalty unit was valued at $154.80 at the time of writing, therefore the maximum fine amounts to $3084. Although the option of a 6 month imprisonment term exists, it's rarely imposed for a first offence of Mid Range Drink Driving, particularly if there were no physical injuries involved. However, if injuries occurred, the likelihood of imprisonment increases significantly, emphasising the importance of seeking expert legal representation for your case, especially for repeat offenders. It's noteworthy that individuals appearing in court without proper legal representation often receive licence disqualifications exceeding 9 months for a first-time Mid Range Drink Driving offence.

The most favourable outcome for a first time Mid Range Drink Driving offender, who holds an open licence, is a 3 month nationwide licence disqualification with a small fine. Additionally, an open Queensland licence holder, who hasn't incurred any license suspensions or disqualifications (except for State Penalties Enforcement Registry suspensions) within the past 5 years, can apply for a Drink Driving Work Licence. This special licence permits individuals to continue driving for work purposes during their court ordered licence disqualification.
