Drug Driving Allegations – Lawyer
Allegation, licence risk, and authority measures in Germany
If you are accused of drug driving, the immediate questions often concern the evidence, the consequences for your licence, and how to deal with police and the licensing authority.
These issues usually matter most:
- ›Review of tests, blood readings, and the available documentation
- ›Assessment of driving-ban risk, revocation, and authority consequences
- ›Evaluation of possible MPU issues or other licensing measures
- ›Clear lawyer guidance on the most sensible next step
You receive a clear first assessment of how robust the allegation appears and what defence or response now makes sense.
Important to know: Drug-driving cases often raise fine-law, criminal-law, and licence-law questions at the same time.

Licence consequences
Assessment of whether a driving ban, revocation, or other measures are at stake.
Response and defence
Clear guidance on how to proceed sensibly with police or the authority.
Frequently asked questions
Does drug driving always lead to licence revocation?
Not automatically. The consequences depend on the substance, the individual case, and the authority's assessment.
Can an MPU also be required?
Yes. Especially in licence law, an MPU can become a major follow-on issue.
Do tests and blood readings matter a lot for the defence?
Yes. The basis of the allegation should be reviewed carefully and as early as possible.
Is this similar to drink-driving cases?
Partly yes, but the legal starting point and the licence issues can differ significantly.
Is this part of general traffic law?
Yes. Drug-driving allegations are among the more sensitive parts of traffic law.

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Lerch and thank him again for his support. B. Paal
