What Is An Adelaide Drink Driving Offence And How McGrath Lawyers Can Help?
If you’re facing an Adelaide drink driving offence, calling a lawyer is the first thing you need to do. By doing so, you allow yourself to gain enough knowledge of the situation and the law. These are three types of alcohol-related charges in Adelaide that you should know:
- Driving Under The Influence – When a person drinks alcohol or takes a drug, they reduce their capacity to control a vehicle. That’s why any attempt to drive a motor or any vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal.
- Driving Under A Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol – If a driver has a PCA of 0.05 in the bloodstream, the driver can face a drink driving offence. Probationary drivers should have 0.00 PCA. Failure to follow will result in penalties and demerits.
- Failure Or Refusal To Blow – Refusing to take a breath test is considered an offence as well.
Possible Defence Our Adelaide Drink Driving Lawyers Can Provide
As drugs and alcohol usage increase, Adelaide drink driving lawyers experience a surge of residents requiring their services. Fortunately, McGrath Lawyer’s line is open 24/7 a week to provide legal advice and services to those in need.
We understand how the possibility of losing your licence could lead to stressful situations, especially for those who rely on it for their livelihood. Luckily, with enough time to gather evidence, we can have a defence such as:
- You were not the driver.
- You were not driving on a road.
- Breath test is inaccurate.
- Reasonable and honest mistake of fact.
- The breath test is done more than two hours after driving.
- Police did not have the appropriate forms.
- Police were not compliant with their legal obligations.
The penalty varies depending on the alcohol content found in your blood and whether or not you were charged with the same offence before.

Testimonials
My first time going to see a Lawyer, I was really nervous and scared as I have never been in trouble before. Tim helped me straight away and it was clear that he knew exactly what he was doing. Would recommend especially if you aren’t so sure about the law and its your first time.
Thanks for all your help Tim. I am always getting myself into a little trouble here and there but Tim never makes me feel bad. Because I have a bit of criminal history some lawyers have said my case it too difficult. Every time I’ve gone to Tim he has always sorted it out and found the best outcome for me and also for my family.
McGrath lawyers, the place to go for all your matters! I had a few traffic offences tied up in some criminal charges. The guys there were able to sort out all of them and did a great job for me at it too!
Thanks to the people at McGrath lawyers for helping my dad out. English isn’t his first language so it was important to find a lawyer who was very clear in his directions and was able to provide honest representation. Sorted my dad’s issue out with minimal impact on his life especially with his work.
So grateful for all the help that McGrath lawyers was able to provide me with. Tim handled my case and upon first meeting it was immediately evident that he is highly knowledgeable and experienced in his field. His ability to be both professional yet also caring shows that this is much more than a job to him. Tim is very fair, honest and most importantly not judgemental. I will only ever trust Tim to handle all of my matters, would recommend 100%!
