BE WARNED!
Failing a roadside test for drugs or alcohol carries hefty legal consequences – you could get 6 month’s imprisonment, an unlimited fine and a driving ban for at least 1 year (3 years if convicted twice in 10 years).
Even after you’ve served/paid for those, that endorsement STAYS ON YOUR LICENCE FOR 11 YEARS from the date of conviction.
A conviction for drink-driving also means:
• Your car insurance costs will increase significantly
• If you drive for work, your employer will see your conviction on your licence
• You may have trouble traveling to countries like the USA
…Is it really worth it? No.
