Primary content Fines for excessive speed, drug and alcohol offences are different from other fines — they are more serious.
They may result in: driver licence cancellation or suspension a conviction. If you don't act, your offence will appear on your criminal record.

Drink-driving If you're caught driving with a blood alcohol concentration BAC over the legal limit, you'll be issued with a drink-driving fine.
Drug-driving If you test positive to a proscribed drug at a roadside drug test, you'll be issued with a drug-driving fine. If you don't act within 28 days of the notice issue date, your driver licence will be suspended. You can be issued a drug-driving penalty for: testing positive to the presence of a proscribed drug while driving testing positive to the presence of a proscribed drug while supervising a learner driver If Victoria Police believes that you are driving while impaired by other drugs, they may undertake a preliminary assessment of physical factors, such as your behaviour, balance and coordination.

The disqualification notice tells the driver when the disqualification period begins. VicRoads may wait until the driver returns to Victoria before sending this notice.
If you were not driving your vehicle when the offence happened you can apply to Fines Victoria to nominate another driver. You must apply before you get a notice of final demand. The agency cannot review your fine if it was for a drink-driving, drug-driving or excessive speed offence.
It may also be possible to seek an enforcement review of the fine from the Director of Fines Victoria. If the agency then decides to issue a charge and summons for the offence, then the points will be added again if you are found guilty of the offence in court.
Unless VicRoads made a mistake when counting up the number of demerit points you have, the only way that you can do something about demerit points is if you decide to plead not guilty and challenge the offence in court. The demerit points will not be recorded against your licence or permit if the magistrate finds that:. Points will be added if you are found guilty.
Once a decision is made the magistrate has no power over demerit points. The number of demerit points you get is set and recorded by VicRoads. For example, the number of demerit points for a speeding charge depends on your speed. If the magistrate decides that your speed was less than what your charge sheet says, you could get fewer points added to your licence.
