Costly drive for Mulwala man
A 42-year-old Mulwala man who returned a blood alcohol reading of .184 on Australia Day received a $1,800 and lost his licence for six months.
As a high range drink driver who got behind the wheel with three people in his car after Australia Day celebrations, he must now complete a traffic offender program, will have to perform community work, and once driving again have an interlock installed for two years for his offending.
Corowa Police had stopped his vehicle on January 26 in Bayly St, Mulwala about 12.40am and his licence was suspended on the spot.
The Mulwala man admitted to drink driving in Corowa Local Court last Thursday, February 29.
The court heard he had been with his family at an event and had planned to use a taxi, but his plans changed.
Magistrate Melissa Humphreys considered that the man had been travelling a short distance, there was no other aggravating features and with no previous convictions, she did not enforce any jail time.
