If the officer forms reasonable grounds, a charge may be laid and documentation provided to you.
4 Licence Suspension
Immediate roadside sanctions may apply, affecting your ability to drive while the matter proceeds.

Outcomes vary by case. Early, informed guidance helps you understand the range of possibilities.
