Lawyer for driving under the influence of drugs in Brussels
A positive saliva test or blood analysis for drugs in traffic results in a citation for the police court and can have serious consequences for your driver's license and freedom. Novex Lawyers, Traffic law lawyer Brussels, defends you at every step of the proceedings.
For driving under the influence of drugs in traffic, the police court can impose a driving ban, a fine multiplied by 8 and mandatory driving license retests. For repeat or serious offenses, the penalties are considerably more severe.
What happens after a positive saliva test?
In principle, when the police take a positive saliva test, a blood draw follows, which is analyzed in a lab. Only after a positive blood analysis, an official report is drawn up and sent to the public prosecutor's office. You will then receive a summons for the police court.
Possible drugs in traffic
Belgian law prohibits driving under the influence of THC (cannabis), cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA (ecstasy), morphine and benzoyleconine. Each of these substances has a legal threshold level in the blood.
