Being pulled over for a roadside drug test and returning a positive result is stressful. The penalties are serious, the process is confusing and most people have no idea what happens next. At Anaki Lawyers, you speak directly with a lawyer who explains exactly where you stand and what your options are.
Anaki Lawyers handles all drug driving matters across Victorian courts. From your first phone call to your final court appearance, you work with a drug driving lawyer who knows your case inside out.
Victoria Police conduct roadside oral fluid tests across Melbourne and regional Victoria. If you return a positive result, the officer carries out a second confirmatory test. When that result comes back positive, police may charge you.
From there, you may receive a charge sheet and a court date. Your license is suspended immediately, and you must appear before a Magistrates’ Court.
This is why getting proper legal advice early is so important. Your lawyer needs to examine each element of the charge carefully before making any decisions.
