How the DIY DUI Program Prepares a Regional Guilty Plea
The QLD Plea Program is a self-guided preparation system for Queensland Magistrates Court drink and drug driving guilty pleas — including Richmond Magistrates 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.
After remote plea prep for Richmond Magistrates Court, consider whether Queensland work-licence preparation is also relevant. The DIY DUI Work Licence Program ($440) is a dedicated $440 product — distinct from the $330 QLD Plea Program. Work licences are not available to everyone — suitability depends on your charge, history and circumstances. This is preparation information, not legal advice.

Queensland Drink Driving Law in Plain English

For a plain-English overview, see Queensland drink driving penalties and laws explained.
Exact outcomes depend on your reading, history, and the magistrate’s assessment of mitigation. DIY DUI does not predict sentences. Verify current figures against official Queensland sources and your Notice to Appear.
