Drug Driving

What are the Penalties for Drug Driving?

An automatic disqualification period of 6 months which can be reduced to not less than 3 months unless you are let off altogether. The fine is up to $1,100. A conviction will result in a criminal record.

If it is your second ‘major’ offence within 5 years, you face an automatic disqualification period of 12 months which can be reduced to not less than 6 months unless you are let off altogether. The fine is up to $2,200.

A major offence does not mean that it has to be the same previous offence.  You can have a low range drink driving and then within 5 years be prosecuted for drug driving. The higher penalties will apply.
