Australian Capital Territory · Road Rules Knowledge Test · Alcohol and drugs

Which statement is true about drug driving in the ACT?

The answer

  • Drug driving laws only apply to full licence holders
  • It is only an offence if your driving is visibly impaired
  • It is an offence to drive with certain drugs in your system, even if your driving seems unaffected Correct
  • Prescription medications can never lead to a driving offence

Why that's the answer

The ACT takes a zero-tolerance approach: driving with certain drugs (illicit or not) in your system is an offence regardless of whether you appear impaired. You can also be charged separately with driving under the influence.
