Sydney's Trusted Criminal & Traffic Lawyers

A drug presence charge can lead to licence loss. We advised program enrollment, relevant medical material, a written apology, and references. Submissions highlighted rehabilitation steps, low risk, and clear plans for safe driving. The court recorded no conviction, preserving employment and family duties. We scheduled check-ins and prepared standard letters for HR and insurers. We also addressed detection windows, medication interactions, and workplace testing so future risks were reduced. A relapse-prevention plan, transport contingencies, and review dates were documented to demonstrate ongoing insight and compliance.

Our client faced a drug driving charge involving drug presence. We prepared a structured checklist including program enrolment, supporting medical material where relevant, a written apology, and strong character references showing insight. We presented practical safeguards to reduce future risk and explained licence impact on work and family responsibilities. The court dealt with the matter without recording a conviction, preserving the licence and helping the client maintain employment and stability.

While alcohol-based, this matter shows our licence-preservation strategy for professional drivers. A CRO without conviction avoided an interlock requirement that would have ended the job due to rotating trucks. Employment and family responsibilities were protected. We filed fleet-rotation evidence, toolbox safety commitments, and a safe driving plan with education modules. The magistrate was satisfied that structured supervision, periodic reviews, and workplace oversight would manage risk while allowing the client to continue lawful work across Liverpool routes.

Penalties range from fines and disqualification to possible imprisonment for repeats or aggravated facts. Drug driving Liverpool prepares clean tests, treatment engagement, and proportionate proposals that address risk while meeting court guidance. Outcomes depend on prior record, reading, crash or children in the car, and how quickly you act. We explain guideline judgments, interlock risks, and realistic best and worst case scenarios.

A non-conviction outcome (including CRO without conviction) may be available in eligible cases. Drug driving Liverpool compiles treatment, clean screens, and references to support discretion, with realistic advice about prospects and alternatives. We also explain program options, timing of testing, and how work, health, and family commitments can be presented to show why a recorded conviction or long disqualification is unnecessary.

There is no guaranteed way. Drug driving Liverpool strategy tests lawfulness of the stop, collection and analysis, and admissions. We examine timing between use and detection, and consider negotiations or admissibility challenges where viable. We also review police bodycam footage, dashcam, and medical issues, and advise on when an early plea, programs, or expert evidence gives a better outcome than running an unrealistic defence. Every case is different and must be assessed on its facts.
