CBR assessment after alcohol or drugs
What would you like help with?
Do not simply fail to cooperate. Failure to pay, attend or cooperate sufficiently may independently lead to your driving licence being declared invalid.
Detailed explanation, checklist and sources
Following a report, the CBR may impose an assessment of alcohol or drug use. The outcome may have major consequences for the validity of your driving licence.

Why an assessment?
The statutory criteria depend on measured values, repetition, combined use, refusal to undergo an assessment and previous measures. Check which criterion the decision states.
Prepare carefully for the assessment
Read the summons, bring medication and treatment information, and answer questions honestly and consistently. Medical information may affect the assessment.
Second assessment and objection
In the event of an intended unfavourable outcome, a second assessment may be offered. After a final decision, an objection is generally possible within six weeks.
