section 89(1) of the Sentencing
Act 1991 where the court makes
a finding that the offence was
committed while the person was
under the influence of alcohol, or
both alcohol and a drug which

result of having been convicted or found
guilty of a corresponding interstate
drink-driving offence committed in that
jurisdiction, the Corporation must—

(5) If the minimum period of disqualification
applying to the Victorian drink-driving
offence varies depending on the
concentration of alcohol in the person's
blood or breath, the period of disqualification
applying to the corresponding interstate
drink-driving offence is the minimum period
of disqualification that would apply had
the person recorded the same concentration
of alcohol in respect of the Victorian
drink-driving offence as that notified as
having been recorded in the person's blood
or breath in respect of the corresponding
interstate drink-driving offence.
(6) If, instead of a fixed concentration of
alcohol, the Corporation is notified that
the concentration of alcohol recorded in
the person's blood or breath fell within a
range of concentration in respect of the
corresponding interstate drink-driving
offence, the person is taken, for the
purposes of subsection (5), to have
recorded a concentration of alcohol at
the lower end of that range.
(7) If the minimum period of disqualification
applying to the Victorian drink-driving
offence varies depending on whether the
offence is a first, second or subsequent
offence, the period of disqualification
applying to the corresponding interstate
drink-driving offence is the minimum period
of disqualification that would apply had the
person been convicted or found guilty of the
Victorian drink-driving offence and had
sections 48(2), (5) and (6) and 50AA been
applied in determining whether the offence
is a first, second or subsequent offence.
