I have an Infringement Notice for drink driving.
When don’t I need to call you?
If you have received an infringement notice (which is also known as an “on the spot fine”) AND you admit you are guilty AND you are not worried about a criminal conviction then you do not need to call me. Your case does not need to go to court. Simply pay the fine and your licence will be disqualified for the period shown on the Infringement Notice. You will receive a criminal conviction. You do not need to call me.
When should I call you?
If you have received an infringement notice for drink driving, and you don’t believe you are guilty, you should call me to arrange a time a conference to obtain legal advice. You will need to call me within 28 days of the date of the infringement Notice as there is a 28 day time limit to object to the notice and send the matter to court.

If you have a Drink Driving Infringement Notice and pay the fine it is a Conviction.
If you receive an Infringement Notice from the police you can pay the fine and you will lose your licence for the period stated in the notice. But be careful. When you pay the fine it is recorded as a criminal conviction and you will have a criminal conviction on your name. The only way to avoid a conviction is to call me to arrange to object to the notice and send the matter to the Court.
