Understanding Drug Driving Charges: What You Should Know

Can I Go to Jail for Drug Driving?

While jail time for drug driving is less common than for drink driving, it can still occur in certain cases. Legal representation from our skilled drug driving lawyers can make a significant

difference in your case.

Do I Have to Lose My License for Drug Driving?

Yes, a license suspension is mandatory for all drug driving offences.

How Long Will I Lose My License for Drug Driving?

For a first-time drug driving offense, you can expect a six-month suspension. In the case of a second offence, the suspension extends to 12 months.

It's crucial to understand that these are minimum suspension periods; the court can impose longer suspensions based on the specific circumstances of your case.
