Queensland Drug Driving Laws
In Queensland, there are two primary types of drug driving offences. The first occurs when police can establish that a person is ‘under the influence’ of a drug. In these cases, the driver will be treated as seriously as a high-range drink driving offence. Alternatively, the second offence involves driving with traces of a relevant drug present in a driver’s system.
Regardless of the specific charge, the penalties for drug driving can be severe. Upon conviction, for an under the influence of drug offence, the court is required to disqualify the person from holding or obtaining a driver’s licence for a minimum of 6 months for a first offence, 1 year for a second, and 2 years for any subsequent offences. Furthermore, if other offences are involved, such as speeding, disqualified driving, or an accident, the court may impose even harsher punishments, including absolute disqualification and potential imprisonment.
