Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered drug driving in NSW?

Drug driving includes driving with an illicit drug in your system or driving under the influence of drugs. The presence offence means you can be charged even if you are not impaired, while DUI requires police to prove your ability to drive was affected.

Can I fight a drug driving charge in court?

Yes, defences include incorrect testing procedures, contaminated samples, or an unknowing drug presence (e.g passive smoking of cannabis). A lawyer can argue for a reduced penalty or a Section 10 dismissal if it’s a first offence.

Why should I hire a lawyer for a drug driving case?

A lawyer can challenge testing procedures, negotiate reduced penalties, and present mitigating factors or avoid licence disqualification. Legal representation increases your changes of a better outcome.

Can I avoid a conviction for drug driving?

Yes, first-time offenders with no prior convictions may be eligible for a Section 10 dismissal or Conditional Release Order, which means no conviction is recorded. The court considers factors such as remorse, good character references, early guilty plea, and the circumstances of the offence. However, if aggravating factors are present, such as high-speed driving or prior offences, avoiding conviction is more difficult.

How much does it cost to hire a drug driving lawyer?

Costs range depending on the complexity of the case. Costs range from $1,500.00 to $5,000.00 for simple cases, while contested hearings can cost $10,000.00 or more. Some lawyers offer fixed fees or payment plans.
