Alcohol and Drug awareness course

In November 2010, the ACT Legislative Assembly passed the Road Transport (Alcohol and Drugs) Legislation Amendment Act 2010, which included a range of drink and drug driving reforms. The amendments include;

1.      The requirement for people convicted of drink or drug driving to complete an approved alcohol and drug awareness course before a restricted or probationary licence can be issued to the person by the Road User Services (RUS).

2.      The requirement for people found guilty with no conviction recorded for a drug or drink driving offence to complete an approved course within 6 months of the court hearing date.

These requirements will apply to a person who commits an offence on or after 25 November 2011.
