Government advice outlines that it’s illegal to drive if you're unfit to do so because you're on legal or illegal drugs, or you have certain levels of illegal drugs in your blood.
If you’re convicted of drug driving you’ll get a minimum 1 year driving ban, an unlimited fine, up to 6 months in prison and a criminal record.
Your driving licence will also show you’ve been convicted for drug driving, which will last for 11 years.
If you have knowledge that someone is drug driving, you should report it to the police on 999.
