Get Advice from Our Drink Driving and Drug Offence Lawyers in Melbourne

Drink driving and drug offences are among the most common traffic law infringements that individuals face. If you are caught driving with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.5 or higher – or you have illicit substances in your system while driving – your license will be suspended. However, consulting with an experienced traffic lawyer may be the difference between minimum loss of licence or a longer suspension. Our drug driving and drink driving lawyers in Melbourne have assisted individuals in a range of circumstances and can work with you to achieve the best possible outcome.

Driving Offences Handled by Our Melbourne Traffic Lawyers

• 

  Drink Driving

  Drink driving carries not only minimum mandatory loss of licence (which can be extended at the discretion of the Magistrate), but also strict conditions on relicensing, such as completing a drink driving course, applying to VicRoads for relicensing, and installing an alcohol interlocker device. See our table below for the minimum licence cancellation period. Our drink driving lawyers in Melbourne can offer advice and services to assist you if you have received a drink driving charge.

  Drug Driving

  Not unlike drink driving, this charge carries a mandatory loss of licence, the length of which will depend on your history and whether or not alcohol was also found in your system. You will also need to apply to the court for relicensing.

• 

  Careless Driving

  This charge does not carry a mandatory loss of licence provision; however, the Magistrate has the discretion to suspend your licence. This charge is often relevant where an accident has occurred, and it may be laid with other charges. Diversion may be an option with this charge.
