When does an appeal make sense? Faulty execution of alcohol/drug test Insufficient documentation or protocol errors Medications or legal substances were classified as drugs Procedural errors in blood sampling or analysis

Common Errors in Alcohol and Drug Notices:

1. Faulty Test Execution Breath alcohol tests must be conducted according to strict guidelines. Waiting times, calibration, and documentation must be correct.

2. Insufficient Documentation Every step from the test to blood sampling must be seamlessly documented. If this documentation is missing, the notice is challengeable.

3. Medications Classified as Drugs Many prescription medications contain active ingredients that trigger in drug tests. This must be differentiated.

4. Errors in Blood Sampling Blood samples must be properly taken, stored, and analyzed. Procedural errors can invalidate the results.

5. No Driving Fitness Test Even with a positive test, it must be proven that you were actually unfit to drive. Missing tests can invalidate the notice.
