Driving under the influence of drugs is a serious offence in the UK, with potential consequences including hefty fines, driving disqualification, and even imprisonment.

Our experienced team is well-versed in the complexities of drug driving legislation and is committed to guiding you through the legal process with expertise and care.

Driving Whilst Unfit

Drug driving offences share similarities with drink driving, but the way police and the CPS must prove "impairment" differs significantly. This alleged impairment may stem from illegal substances, prescribed medications, or other contributing factors.

Drug driving - Special Reasons

Do you believe the circumstances of your drug driving offence are unfair? In certain situations, we can apply to the Court to avoid the standard 12-month driving ban, even if you're convicted or plead guilty. These situations are known as ‘special reasons’.

Special reasons are often applicable in drug driving cases where there may be an explanation for the offence. For example, this could include the short distance driven or if the defendant was unknowingly intoxicated due to having their drinks spiked.
