The government’s stance towards the illegal substances they have identified is nothing short of “Zero Tolerance” and if even a minuscule amount of these substances is detected, it will make no difference to argue that your driving was not impaired in any way.
Drug driving is an offence that carries with it the most unacceptable of social stigmas. The offence applies to a number of specified legal drugs which, just like in the case of drink driving, have a number of legal limits set for each drug.

In addition to legal drug driving limits, the drug driving offence also captures 8 of the most common illegal drugs in use in the UK today. However, there is a zero tolerance to these so that even a trace of an illegal drug in your system could see you convicted with a criminal record and disqualified from driving for a minimum mandatory 12 months. Unlike drink driving, there is no drug driving course to enable a convicted defendant reduce the length of ban imposed.
Drug driving is an offence that carries with it the most unacceptable of social stigmas. The offence applies to a number of medically prescribed drugs which, just like in the case of drink driving, have a number of legal limits set for each drug.
When faced with a drug driving prosecution most visitors to this site are rather anxious about what may be happening to them or to a loved one in the near future. Whether on bail and awaiting the outcome of a blood or urine test, charged and awaiting court, or midway through a case, you have found the right drug driving solicitors to guide you through the possible outcomes and choices from here.
The rules relating to drug driving are still relatively new and we encounter many motorists who are unaware of the way in which this offence has removed the need for the prosecution to prove any level of impairment if a certain level of drug has been found in your system. The different legal limits have been specified on the pages of this site where we have also outlined useful information about each drug addressed by the new offence.
Although the drug driving offence is the newer offence, there are many aspects to it that remain similar to the older offence of driving whilst impaired through drugs.
†Figures include drink and drug related cases only and include successful appeals but exclude cases lost that are the subject of appeal as at 31st December 2025.
