Err. No it isn't.

What is the maximum penalty for driving under the influence?
If the Court takes the view that an offence is "so serious" that it can only be adequately punished by way of a prison sentence, then the Defendant can be sent to prison, even on the first offence. Clearly, "so serious" will depend upon the circumstances of the incident and the alcohol reading. Custodial sentences would normally be considered at readings of 116 ug breath / 265 mg of blood or 355 mg of urine.
At levels of 86 ug breath / 196 mg blood / 261 mg urine, community service is an option, as would a curfew order, but at lower levels, the ban will range from 12–36 months.

Not every drink driving offence results in a prison sentence..


You've quoted the 'maximum penalty' for 'serious' incidents.

Proving that it is a jailable offence- in some cases.

I remember a while ago I said something and you told me that you would never defend me again.

I said drink driving should be a jailable offence, the majority of cases aren't.
