A lawyer has appeared in the Magistrate’s Court facing four driving charges.
David Samuel Steenson (57) was in the Magistrate’s Court this morning facing one drink-driving charge, two charges of dangerous driving, and one charge of failing to stop after an accident.
Luisa Stuart, prosecuting, told the court that he hit another car with his Jaguar and did not stop.
It is claimed that he later failed an alcohol breath test, at 82 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, which is more than double the limit.
The two dangerous driving charges refer to allegedly driving before and after the collision, the court was told.
Advocate Steenson is next due to appear in the Magistrate’s Court on Friday 1 August.
Advocate Debbie Corbel was defending, and Assistant Magistrate Adam Clarke was presiding.
