If you are facing drink driving charges after a crash or
accident, you may be concerned about being sentenced to a term of
imprisonment.
There will generally be a police investigation after any car
accident. This will involve you being submitted to a breath
test.
If any alcohol is detected in your breath, you may be charged
with a range of offences.
Below is a complete guide to the process after a collision and
what to expect.
What Happens After a Crash?
After a crash, a police investigation will commence. You will be
breath tested. If your blood alcohol reading is over the prescribed
limit, you be arrested.
You will then be taken to a police station for a breath
analysis. If you refuse a breath test or breath analysis you can be
charged with an offence. The penalties for refuse a breath test or
breath analysis are the same as high range drink driving.
