Category 1 offences (blood alcohol reading between 0.05 – 0.08) will result in a fine and disqualification (depending on whether first or subsequent offence).

Category 2 and category 3 offences (Blood Alcohol levels over 0.08 and 0.15 respectively) carry heavy penalties including significant licence disqualification, fines, vehicle impound fees, court costs, victims of crime levy and prosecution costs.

It is important to note that mandatory fines and licence disqualification periods apply; however, a Court may impose a greater penalty depending on your circumstances. You may also be required to have an alcohol interlock fitted to your vehicle once your disqualification period has lapsed.
