Frankston Magistrates’ Court – No Conviction for High-Range Drink Driving and Serious Collision

Our 46-year-old client with prior driving history facing high-range drink driving at three times the legal limit and serious collision received no conviction and only a $350 fine at Frankston Magistrates’ Court. Despite aggravating factors including significant crash damage and repeat offending history, comprehensive rehabilitation evidence and strategic sentencing submissions secured minimum disqualification with record protected.

Case Overview

Frankston Magistrates Court 

Charge: Drink Driving

Client: 46-year-old client

Our 46-year-old client appeared before the Frankston Magistrates’ Court facing high-range drink driving charges after returning a reading more than three times the legal limit. The incident also involved a serious motor vehicle collision on a busy suburban road, resulting in significant damage and raising real concerns about public safety.

Adding to the challenge, our client had a prior history of driving-related offences, which typically places defendants at higher risk of harsh penalties, including convictions and lengthy licence disqualifications.

Despite the seriousness of the allegations, our office acted swiftly to:

  • Compile comprehensive material demonstrating our client’s rehabilitation and remorse
  • Highlight our client’s employment, personal circumstances, and progress since the incident
  • Prepare persuasive sentencing submissions focused on rehabilitation and the principle of proportionality

Following our thorough and strategic advocacy, the Court was persuaded to deal with the matter by way of:

  • A modest fine of just $350.00
  • No conviction recorded
  • Only the mandatory minimum period of licence disqualification imposed

This was an exceptional result given the aggravating features of the case, and a testament to the value of experienced legal representation when facing serious traffic and drink driving charges.
