Our client was visiting Sydney from Canberra for a friend’s wedding. At the last minute, the couch at his friend’s place was unavailable, so he and a friend decided to sleep it off in his car. Despite having a long breakfast the next morning before setting off back to Canberra, our client was stopped in an RBT and blew low-range over the limit. We explained the lengths our client went to to stay under the limit to the Magistrate, as well as his circumstance as sole breadwinner, and the Magistrate decided to proceed without conviction and a good behaviour bond, with our client keeping his licence.
