Georgia Driving Under the Influence of Drugs

Did you know that, under Georgia state law, you could be charged with driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) if you are operating a vehicle with anything in your system that could potentially impair your ability to drive? Indeed, along with illegal substances such as marijuana and cocaine, driving after using prescription medication or over-the-counter drugs alone is enough for a person to be charged with Georgia driving under the influence of drugs.

Unlike alcohol, there are no clear-cut laws specifying the amount of drugs a person can have in his or her system before his or her ability to drive is impaired. As a result, this means most of the evidence used to support a DUID charge is highly subjective—such as the officer’s testimony regarding the driver’s appearance and/or behavior, for example.

Unfortunately, despite the subjective nature of the evidence used in DUID cases, the penalties for a DUID conviction are just as severe as DUI, and often include fines, license suspension, and even jail time. The good news, however, is that many drivers are able to successfully challenge their arrest in court and avoid many of the penalties associated with a DUID conviction.
