February 28, 2006: The Vic govt's serious penalties to be introduced The Age article: Drug-drive testing to become law Author: JESSE HOGAN Date: February 28, 2006 Source: theage.com.au Copyright: © 2006, The Age If you're caught drink driving for a second time there's a chance to avoid court and a licence suspension if the level is above 0.05 blood alcohol concentration but below 0.07 blood alcohol concentration.
