 Drink and Drug Drive Programs
Regaining your licence after a drink or drug drive offence
When a licence is suspended or cancelled for drink or drug driving, it is not automatically reinstated as is the case for speeding. Instead, that person is required to undertake a licence restoration process. This process involves a number of steps which can span 12 months or more following the initial period of disqualification. Conditions may include payment of fines, participation in a driver education program, undertaking assessments, court hearings and for drink drivers the installation of alcohol interlock devices. Requirement to fulfil one or more of these conditions depends on the individual’s circumstances, such as the type of offence, age of the driver and whether they have previously been convicted.
