Here are some of the drink and drug-drivers convicted recently in Rockhampton Magistrates Court:
David Allan Harley had a blood-alcohol content (BAC) reading of .220 when he was intercepted driving on the Old Bruce Highway at Marlborough at 1.10am on April 18. He was fined $1200 and disqualified from driving for 12 months.
Elspeth Lisa Mitchell, 57, had BAC of .148 when she was intercepted driving away from Bartlett’s Tavern on Campbell St on April 3 at 10.40pm. She told police she had consumed eight beers in four hours and she was driving home. She only held a provisional licence. The court heard Mitchell normally got a taxi home, but she had an argument with someone at the pub which upset her emotionally. Mitchell was disqualified from driving for 10 months and fined $950.
