- Loss of licence
- Fines
- Disqualification from driving a commercial vehicle
- Potential jail time
Potential Defences for Drug Driving Charges
There are various grounds we can explore to fight your drug driving charges, including:
- Procedural Errors: Did the police officer follow proper procedures during the stop?
- Challenging Drug Test Results: Were the breath or blood tests administered correctly? Can the results be contested?
- Mitigating Circumstances: Did you have a medical reason for having drugs in your system, or unknowingly ingest a substance?
