DUI in Australia - Radio personality Steve Price Pleads Not Guilty
RADIO personality Steve Price has appeared in a Sydney court where he will contest a charge of mid-range drink-driving.
Price, who hosts the drive-time program on Sydney radio station 2UE, was charged after a night out on April 14. Police caught him riding a Vespa scooter at Neutral Bay, on Sydney's lower north shore, carrying his wife Wendy as a passenger.
As the 52-year-old faced North Sydney Local Court today, Magistrate Andrew George heard that the level of alcohol allegedly found in Price's system would be a matter of debate.
The court was told Price had been prepared to plead guilty to low-range drink-driving, but prosecutors had refused to accept his plea.
Price's lawyer indicated that his client was pleading not guilty to the mid-range drink driving charge.
