I met up with this girl that I met through a mutual friend last night for a few drinks in the city. We grabbed dinner at Longrain. Great place for a date because you can't make a booking, you have to turn up and wait for a table and there's a nice bar on the other side of the restaurant where they make some awesome ****tails. Knowing I was driving, I only had one ****tail before dinner and then alternated Vodka/Sodas with glasses of water... Food was great as usual and had a great night... No details you horny biatches!!! :slap:

So anyway, I was driving her home after dinner and got hit by an RBT on New South Head Road in front of Rushcutters Bay Park... I though I'd be fine because I paced myself all night and wasn't feeling drunk at all... Just eager to get back to her place.

I lit up the breathalyzer with a 0.12 reading, which apparently puts me in the "Mid Range" offence... I have no idea what I can do about this :( I'm like the biggest advocate of drink driving out of all my friends, always saying that only retards drive whilst drunk, but I honestly didn't feel drunk at all!!! ;)

The officer said that the mid-range reading comes with an automatic 6 month suspension and possible 9 month gaol term :rofl::D;):(

Fark guys, please help me out... Does anyone know of any good DUI Lawyers? This is obviously my first offence :(

OMFG that sucks man, are you sure you didn't have like bits of alcohol in your mouth and blow that into it? 0.12 is pretty hight considering you didn't think you drank that much...

thats seriously farked man...

sorry to hear it - definatly seek out a lawyer, probably can't get you off but, may be able to get it reduced a little.

Merli my mate got done in Vic he blew really high because the alcohol was fresh in his breath as he had just finished a bourban can before getting in the car.

They took him to the station, waited 20mins and breathoed him again.. and he was like 0.02

did they allow you to wait this time and breatho you again? you might have something there, depending on when your last drink was.

Sorry to hear mate :(

i just had to read that it was posted by merli, looked at the calender n shook my head in such dissapointment

u could have at least held off for half the day :(

"The officer said that the mid-range reading comes with an automatic 6 month suspension and possible 9 month gaol term "

please, i somehow dont think this happens when ppl blow this all the time

or else the gaol would be full of drunken loonies

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
