That extra drink could give not only a fine and a headache but a criminal record too!!

Question:

May you kindly clarify this for me.

If the court fines you R2000 for driving under influence of alcohol, doe’s it mean you have a criminal record?

Thank you for always assisting.

Kind regards

Mpho

Answer:

Sorry to have to be the bearer of sad news but yes you do have a criminal record.
