Mid-Range Drink Driving is illegal under section 110 of the Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW)
The offence is committed by any person who drives a motor vehicle on a public road with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 to 0.149.
This offence, upon conviction carries a disqualification period and the interlock provisions also apply.
Most consequentially, a criminal conviction will be recorded. Drink driving is treated as a serious offence.
The effect of a criminal conviction is significant. It will affect multiple aspects of your life. Employers often conduct police background checks on employee candidates as a common practise. These official checks not only reveal that a conviction is recorded but also the specific charge against you. Employers are well within their rights to take this into consideration when choosing whether to employee you or not.
A criminal conviction will stay on your recorded for a minimum of 10 years which means a decision you make at a young age will have a direct impact on your life in the long term.
Specific professions require that any criminal convictions be reported to their administration.
