What happens after a drug arrest?
After an arrest on suspicion of drug-driving, like the man in Birmingham, police will take a blood sample for analysis. If this confirms drugs above the legal limit, the driver will be charged. A conviction leads to a minimum 12-month driving ban, a fine, and a criminal record, impacting insurance costs significantly.
