How the DIY DUI Program Prepares a Regional Guilty Plea
The NSW Plea Program is a self-guided preparation system for NSW Local Court drink and drug driving guilty pleas — including Hay Local Court. The confirmed price is $330 (AUD, one-time, incl. GST) with 180-day access.
Inside the program you work through onboarding questions, a personalised checklist, plain-English offence and process modules, guidance on character references and an apology letter, traffic offender program context, and editable oral and written submission drafts. You remain responsible for accuracy and for what you say in court.
DIY DUI does not appear for you, does not create a solicitor–client relationship, and does not provide personalised recommendations about your plea. It is court preparation information for people who have already decided to plead guilty and want structure instead of improvisation — especially useful when sitting days are infrequent and travel is long.

NSW Drink Driving Law in Plain English
NSW drink driving offences are commonly charged as Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol (PCA) ranges under the Road Transport Act 2013 (NSW). For full licence holders, low range is generally 0.05–under 0.08, mid range 0.08–under 0.15, and high range 0.15 and above. Learner and provisional drivers face a 0.00 alcohol limit. Drug driving offences also proceed through the Local Court. For a fuller walkthrough, see NSW drink driving penalties and laws explained.
Penalties typically combine a fine, licence disqualification, and — for some mid and high range matters — alcohol interlock requirements. Exact outcomes depend on your reading, history, and the magistrate’s assessment. No page can predict your sentence. Verify current figures against official NSW sources and your charge papers.
