Driving with a Low-Range Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol

Driving with a Low-Range Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol is also known as Low-Range Drink Driving and is an offence under Section 110 of the Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW).

To establish the offence, the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that:

  1. You drove a motor vehicle, and
  2. You had a blood alcohol concentration of at least 0.05 and no more than 0.79

If it is your first major traffic offence in the past 5 years the penalty is an on-the-spot fine and 3 month licence suspension, or if the case is decided by a court:

  1. A 6 month licence disqualification which can be reduced to 3 months, and
  2. A fine of $2,200

If it is your second or more major traffic offence in the past 5 years the maximum penalty is:

  2. A 12 month period during which you must have an interlock device installed to your vehicle

  2. A fine of $3,300

However, there will be no criminal record, licence disqualification or fine where the court deals with you by way of:
