If you are caught by Police with Drugs in your system or with a BAC of over 0.05 for open licence, or a BAC of over 0.00 for Provisional licence holders then you will lose your licence for a period.
Many factors are taken into account by the Courts for Drink Driving and Drug Driving offences such as age, driving history, employment situation and personal character. We will help you to present your case to the court in the best possible light. Our Gold Coast Lawyers have many years experience in this area.
Police can now test for the presence of Marijuana, Speed, Ice and Ecstasy. This is done via a saliva swap. There is an initial swab by the roadside and then a more comprehensive swab.
If you return a positive result you will be disqualified for a period of up to 9 months for a first offence, with fines up to $1200. If you have a history of Drink or Drug driving, then the penalties can be significantly higher.
Our Lawyers can give you advice as to your options, your likely length of suspension and what you can do to improve the result. We can also appear on your behalf at Court to try and help you receive the best result possible.
