Queensland Drug Driving Laws
In the state of Queensland, drug driving offences are taken seriously, with two primary types of charges that can be brought against drivers.
The first involves situations where police can establish that an individual is ‘under the influence’ of a drug while operating a vehicle. In these cases, the driver will face penalties comparable to those associated with high-range drink driving offences.
The second type of drug driving offence occurs when a driver is found to have the presence of a relevant drug in the driver’s saliva or blood. Regardless of the specific charge, the consequences for drug driving in Queensland can be severe.
Upon conviction for an under the influence charge, the court is mandated to disqualify the offender from holding or obtaining a driver’s licence as follows:
- For a first offence, the minimum disqualification period is 6 months, while
- Second and subsequent offences carry disqualification periods of 1 year and 2 years, respectively.
- If additional offences are involved, such as speeding, driving while disqualified, or being involved in an accident, the court may impose harsher penalties, including absolute disqualification from driving and potential imprisonment.
