⚖️ Can it affect your original matter?
Yes. A breach may make your overall legal situation more difficult.

A drug driving charge isn’t always about being impaired. 🚗 In Victoria, you could face different charges depending on whether a drug was detected, you were impaired, you were driving with alcohol and drugs present, or you refused a required test. ⚖️

Charges can include:
👉 Driving while impaired by a drug
👉 Drug present in your system while driving
👉 Drug and alcohol offences
👉 Drug detected within three hours of driving
👉 Refusing an oral fluid, blood, urine, or impairment test

If you’ve tested positive or been charged, don’t face the situation alone; speak with a specialist drug-driving lawyer before discussing your case with police.

A breath test refusal isn’t simply a roadside “no.” 🚨

Under Victorian law, failing to properly comply with testing requirements can itself become a criminal offence, with consequences that may be more serious than you expect. ⚖️

Here’s what’s at stake:
✔ First offence: 12 penalty units and a mandatory 2-year licence disqualification
✔ Second offence: 120 penalty units or 12 months’ imprisonment and a 4-year disqualification
✔ Subsequent offence: 180 penalty units or 18 months’ imprisonment and a 4-year disqualification

Refusal charges are dealt with in court, and depending on the circumstances, issues around how the requirement was made, what was actually refused, and whether a recognised defence applies can matter. 🔍

The police want to ask you questions; but do you have to answer them? 👮

Your legal rights during a police interview can depend on your circumstances and the type of investigation involved. ⚖️

What you say may become part of the evidence, so it's important to understand your position before answering questions. Getting legal advice before an interview can help you understand your options and make an informed decision.

If you're facing police questioning, speak with a criminal lawyer as soon as possible. https://www.criminalsolicitorsmelbourne.com.au/
