Potential Penalties and Licence Consequences
Drink and drug driving offences carry serious consequences, including:
Driving disqualification
Fines
Endorsements (penalty points) on your driving record
Penalty points for drink or drug driving remain on your licence for 4 years.
Disqualification periods vary depending on the severity of the offence, prior convictions, and blood alcohol/drug levels.
Our team will work to ensure that any penalties imposed are minimised and that all mitigating factors are properly presented to the court.
Your Legal Options
In some circumstances, it may be possible to reduce or avoid penalties altogether. We can argue for special reasons or exceptional hardship, such as where a driving ban would significantly impact your employment or family life.
We’ll carefully review your case, assess evidence and testing procedures, and develop a legal strategy tailored to your circumstances. Whether you’ve received a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP), a court summons, or a Single Justice Procedure Notice, prompt legal advice is crucial.
