‘Family emergency’ no excuse for seventh drink-driving offence

‘Family emergency’ no excuse for seventh drink-driving offence
SHARE
A man attempted to justify his decision to drink and drive by claiming a family emergency, but his excuse fell flat with the judge.

Gregory Robinson received his seventh conviction for driving while intoxicated, leading to a year-long disqualification from driving and a sentence of community detention.

Robinson had been out for dinner with friends when he received a message about a family emergency. Despite already consuming alcohol, he believed he was fit to drive. However, he was pulled over for speeding on State Highway 60, where a breath test revealed he was well over the legal limit.

With six previous drink-driving convictions, Robinson’s argument to avoid disqualification based on the emergency was dismissed by Judge Tony Snell. The judge emphasized that Robinson had alternative options to get home safely, such as taking a taxi or asking a friend for a ride.

Judge Snell pointed out Robinson’s extensive criminal record, which included various offenses beyond drink-driving. He also highlighted Robinson’s claim of being unable to perform community work due to health reasons.

In the end, Robinson was sentenced to supervision and community detention, coupled with a driving disqualification. Despite receiving credit for a lower breath alcohol reading and an early guilty plea, Robinson’s decision to drive under the influence was deemed irresponsible and unjustified.
