FAQ
What should I do if I’ve been charged with drink or drug driving?
If you’re charged with drink or drug driving, seek legal advice immediately. Do not plead guilty or attend court without consulting an experienced lawyer. Paradise Law can review the evidence, explain your options and help you prepare for court to protect your licence and future.
Can I apply for a work licence after a drink driving charge?
Yes, in some cases. If you rely on your licence for work and meet certain criteria, you may be eligible for a restricted (work) licence. Paradise Law assists with preparing and presenting your application to give you the best chance of approval.
What is considered a drug driving offence in Queensland?
A drug driving offence occurs when a driver tests positive for an illicit substance or prescription drug that impairs driving ability. Police may use roadside saliva or blood tests. Penalties depend on the drug type, quantity and whether you’ve been convicted of a similar offence before.
What happens if I refuse a roadside breath or drug test?
Refusing a roadside breath or saliva test is a serious offence with penalties similar to high-range drink driving. It often results in automatic licence disqualification and possible imprisonment. Always comply with testing, then seek immediate legal advice from Paradise Law to protect your rights.
