KEY TAKEAWAYS
We outline the penalties, disqualifications, sentences, and
defences for drink driving charges in NSW. This article explains
your rights and obligations if confronted by police when driving
according to the drink driving laws in New South Wales, and getting
non-convictions under a conditional release order or section 10. A
non-conviction penalty for drink driving will mean you can keep
your driver licence without a conviction. Finally, we also outline
information on the traffic offenders program, drink driving course,
and a run down on police powers.
The
Transport and Roads Minister has taken a zero-tolerance
approach to drink driving in NSW.
Drink driving laws in NSW are constantly changing and becoming
more complex over time. Receiving a drink driving conviction these
days can result in losing your driver licence, job which in turn
have a significant impact on your loved ones who rely on you for
these important aspects of life.
