Road traffic

Driving under the influence of drugs

A positive screen and a confirmation test are separate steps. Under the Road Code the medical or expert report matters. Criminal liability also depends on the conditions in article 292 of the Criminal Code.

What to check in your case

Set out the order of tests, when you were driving and any signs recorded. Tell the lawyer about relevant medication and send only the clinical information needed to address that issue.

Documents for your defence

Full notice or decision, front and back, and evidence of the date of service.

  • Screening result and any available confirmation report
