Drink Driving Novice Range SA

Novice range drink driving in South Australia is dealt with seriously. It applies only to persons who have just been issued a learner’s or probationary license and he is either a minor aged 16 or else aged under 25. For these drivers the prescribed blood alcohol limit is 0.0% since this type of driver is inexperienced. Because of his inexperience, his capacity to drive is impaired even if the blood alcohol concentration level is more than 0.0% but less than 0.05%. His risk of getting into a serious accident or being involved in a crash is greater because his coordination, judgment and decision making will be impaired. The offense charged will not only be for prescribed concentration of alcohol, but if there is evidence of the impairment of the driver’s capacity to drive, he will be charged with DUI and this is a serious traffic offense.
