Traffic Code article 112(k) treats driving with drugs or analogous substances in the body as a very serious administrative offence when it is not a criminal offence: EUR201–400 and up to two months' licence suspension under article 115. Article 82 provides authorised saliva screening and a right to a confirmatory blood or saliva test. Criminal Code article 268 separately covers drug influence: ordinary driving can bring up to one year's imprisonment or arrest, up to three years' driving deprivation/prohibition and EUR300–3,000. Certain passenger or heavy transport has higher maxima. Article 269 penalises refusing a lawful test and also declining blood analysis; its ordinary fine starts at EUR600. The July 2026 procedural amendment requires police licence retention and judicial review within ten days. The new July 2026 Criminal Code has a four-month publication delay and is not yet operative on 12 October: its renumbered article 300 adds blood/saliva evidence of consumption and removes the arrest alternative. No numerical THC allowance or general medical-use exception was verified.

Vehicles and Road Traffic Act section 54 prohibits driving, attempting to drive or being in charge on a road when a drug prevents proper vehicle control. Both the government's older Cap. 460 text and the published 2018 replacement retain that impairment limb. The replacement changes fine, prison and repeat-licence provisions and authorises ministerial approval of drug-detection devices, but Act 18/2018 requires a Gazette commencement notice. That notice and an approved drug-device order were not retrieved here, so neither the old nor replacement penalty table is presented as a verified current tariff. The 2018 prescribed concentration definition concerns alcohol; it establishes no numerical THC allowance. The 2025 amendment deals with transport administration, fees and the fee for applications to remove permanent disqualification, and also has a separate commencement clause. The statutory possibility of applying to remove a permanent ban means that wording should not be described as necessarily irreversible. Current sanctions and testing procedure remain follow-up questions.

Traffic Law article 35 prohibits driving when alcohol or a drug causes loss of control or impaired driving ability, and separately prohibits taking these substances while driving. It provides six-month administrative licence withdrawal; refusal of an authorised examination or attempted escape brings the same withdrawal. Repetition has longer administrative periods. Decree-Law 30/2025 replaced article 51: ordinary drug-influence driving now carries two months to one year in prison and BHD1,000–2,000, or either penalty. Committing a further crime or traffic-rule violation through that driving raises this to four months to two years and BHD2,000–4,000, or either penalty; repetition within a year of judgment doubles the article 51 penalties.

impairment

Vehicles and Road Traffic Act section 40 prohibits drug influence that makes proper control impossible while driving, attempting to drive or being in charge on a road. Act 1 of 2025 replaces its penalty provisions: up to EC$10,000 or one year's imprisonment for a first conviction; up to EC$20,000 or two years or both for a repeat. The licence consequence is twelve months on a first conviction, with power to impose longer, and permanent disqualification on a second like conviction. The older EC$4,000/four-month schedule is superseded. Section 42 of the 2020 consolidation provides blood/urine evidence and an adverse evidential inference for an unjustified refusal after its specified blood–two-urine–blood request sequence. That is distinct from proving drug impairment automatically. Section 41's numerical limit is alcohol-specific; the breath-test provisions do not establish a THC breath test. No numerical THC allowance, current operational saliva protocol or general prescription exception was verified here.

It also has a separate habitual-narcotic-user prohibition, so not every limb requires proof of impairment on that occasion. Lawful entitlement to use a drug is expressly no defence. The published statute lists a $1,000 fine ceiling or one year’s imprisonment; current currency treatment, amendments and tariffs were not certified. Section 2.61 requires licence revocation on a section 10.90 conviction; under section 2.69 a new application may be made after one year from surrender, subject to investigation and licensing conditions.

Drug-related inability to drive safely can lead to immediate removal from traffic and temporary licence withdrawal under Road Safety Law article 341.

Articles 336–338 provide police testing, medical examination and blood/urine analysis, with health safeguards. Article 336(6) specifies a EUR500-equivalent refusal fine and one year's driving prohibition in that consolidation; the neighbouring EUR400 provision concerns alcohol findings, not a generic cannabis-driving tariff. Drug driving also engages Criminal Code article 297-a: the ministry reported a drug-related arrest under that article in January 2026. The Constitutional Court confirms that Gazette 16/2026 changed article 297-a and added mandatory-ban and vehicle-confiscation provisions, applicable from 1 February.

Section 87 allows the court to suspend or cancel a licence and disqualify a convicted driver for a period it considers appropriate. No numeric THC threshold is established by the reviewed traffic provisions: the prescribed concentrations and breath-testing regime concern alcohol. A specific cannabis fine or prison ceiling remains unresolved because section 69(1) refers to section 79, while section 79(1)’s graduated penalties expressly identify the alcohol-specific section 69(2).
