Drink Driving Defence
Drink Driving Lawyer Manly
A drink driving charge can cost you your licence and your livelihood — whether you were stopped in Manly, on the Northern Beaches, or anywhere across greater Sydney. Bronwyn Pullinger has defended these matters locally and city-wide for over 30 years.
Drink Driving Charges Under NSW Law
- In NSW, drink driving is charged as a Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol (PCA) offence. The severity depends on your blood alcohol reading at the time:
- Low Range PCA (0.05–0.079) — automatic 3-month suspension; court conviction adds fines and further disqualification
- Mid Range PCA (0.08–0.149) — court attendance required; fines, longer disqualification, possible interlock device
- High Range PCA (0.15+) — serious charge; mandatory interlock, lengthy disqualification, real risk of imprisonment for repeat offenders
- Refusal to provide a sample — treated as a serious offence equivalent to high range in many respects
Can You Keep Your Licence?
Yes — in many cases. For first offenders with lower-range readings, Bronwyn regularly achieves Section 10 outcomes: no conviction recorded, no disqualification. The court has significant discretion, and a well-prepared case presenting your personal circumstances, traffic history, and the hardship a loss of licence would cause can shift the outcome considerably.
Even where a Section 10 is not available, Bronwyn works to minimise disqualification periods and reduce penalties as far as possible — whether your matter is heard at Manly, Dee Why, the Downing Centre, Parramatta, or anywhere else across Sydney.
