Understanding Drug Driving Offences

Driving under the influence of drugs can carry serious consequences, including fines, disqualification from driving, and even imprisonment. In the UK, drug driving laws are stringent, and the penalties for a conviction can significantly impact your life. Our team understands the complexities of drug driving legislation and is here to help you navigate the legal system.

Driving Whilst Unfit

Drug driving offences are similar to drink driving offences although the ‘impairment’ must be proven by the police and CPS in a very different way. The alleged impairment may be due to illegal drugs, legal medication or other factors. 

Drug driving - Special Reasons

Do you think the facts of your drug driving offence are unfair? There are certain circumstances where we can apply to the Court asking it to not impose the standard 12 month driving ban even if you're convicted or plead guilty.

These circumstances are called ‘special reasons’. Special reasons are most often applied in drug driving cases where there may be an excuse for committing a driving offence.

Examples could be the shortness of the distance driven, or when the defendant’s drinks were spiked and he/she was unaware of this.
