Schedule 5: Blood concentration levels for offences related to drug driving
You could also call this:
“How much drugs in your blood can get you in trouble when driving”
This schedule shows the blood concentration levels for different drugs that are considered illegal when driving. The schedule has two parts: high-risk levels and tolerance levels.
The high-risk levels are the amounts of drugs in your blood that are considered very dangerous when driving. For example, if you have more than 3 ng/ml of THC (the active ingredient in cannabis) in your blood, it’s considered high-risk.
The tolerance levels are lower amounts of drugs in your blood that are still not allowed when driving. For instance, having more than 1 ng/ml of THC in your blood is above the tolerance level. These levels help make sure that even small amounts of drugs don’t affect your driving.
