who needs qualifications when you have tv all the knowledge you need right thereim not but ive watched enough cop shows to know all about it lol whats up?
What is your job?
And what state are you in?
In QLD, if you just need your license to go to and from work they might be able to offer you a work suspension or something. Means you still keep your license but the fine is doubled and so is the time you're on suspension, BUT you can drive your car along a set route to and from work. Immediate loss of license for double the period though if you're caught driving outside that route or get any other traffic offense during the time period.
If you need your car for travel over a large area, such as if you're a sales rep etc, you might also be eligible for a special hardship order if you can prove that losing your license will result in extreme hardship to your or your family by depriving you of the means of earning a living.
My father-in-law was able to drive between nominated hours of the day for work purposes only , this was in Queensland. I am not sure what it is called it but this is the arrangement that I refered to as a "work license" and I am not even sure that this is available as it was around 12 months ago. I am pretty sure that legal aid is not available for DUI offences in Queensland either, this is drawn from my own experience many years ago (approx 15) and it was a reading of .176 which in Queensland is a criminal offence and this may have been the reason that legal aid was not made available to me.Hi. I am a criminal defence lawyer and have been for 15 years. Not good news unfortunately. You will lose your licence for at least 6 months (the minimum period for mid range drink driving) the maximum period is 12 months. That's for a first offence. You will probably also be fined and or be placed on a bond. The chances of getting a section 10 (no conviction so no disqualification) are pretty slim for a midrange .106 but no harm in asking. The appeal you have on the 22nd sounds like it is just an appeal against the on the spot suspension the cops issued you with. The court will not deal with the drink driving charge on that date. You run the risk of getting your licence back on the 22nd (I think its highly unlikely the court will grant the appeal) only to lose it again when the matter is finally dealt with. There is no such thing as a work licence (trust me it does not exist). Go see legal aid they can give you free legal advice. Of course I have to say that this advice is general only and I don't know all your circumstances so you really get some proper legal advice to discuss your exact situation.
