If you are caught drink driving you will in most circumstances have to go to court. You should not under-estimate the seriousness of this type of charge and how it will impact upon you. Many people do not realise how technical traffic law is and how serious the penalties can be, particularly for repeat offenders.
Alcohol and drugs are often a factor when fatal road accidents occur. As a response, drug testing for drivers was introduced in 2007 to help improve road safety. The tests detect the active ingredients in illicit drugs including cannabis, ecstasy and various types of amphetamines. If the second test is also positive a sample of your saliva will be sent to a government laboratory for testing.
It is an offence to drive a motor vehicle on a road if you do not hold a valid driver licence. There are many categories of unlicensed driving which vary in seriousness depending upon the reason a person does not hold a current driver licence. The offence becomes quite serious if you have been caught driving whilst disqualified by a court order, particularly if you are a repeat offender.
Motorists repeatedly caught texting or using their mobile phone while driving will face stiffer penalties under changes being rolled out by the Queensland Government this month. For drivers caught twice within 12 months, double demerit points apply, and you may now lose your licence. A person must not use a mobile phone that the person is holding in the person's hands while the person is using a personal mobility device.
