From 20 May 2019, if you commit a first-time, lower range drink driving offence, you’ll get a $561 on-the-spot fine and have your licence immediately suspended for three months.

If you commit a first-time driving with the presence of an illicit drug offence, you’ll be fined $561 and have your licence suspended for three months.

The change is part of a number of reforms in the Road Safety Plan 2021 to reduce alcohol and drug-related trauma on NSW roads.
