Driving Impaired by Drugs
Drug impaired driving is a very difficult offence to prove. We can advise you on the many technicalities that the prosecution has to overcome.

We can assist you with whatever support you consider is needed. At present there is no statutory approval for any roadside drug testing device - the police rely on the field impairment test.


Please call 08007 83 55 87 to discuss your options.
