Common confusion points
Confusing 'Recognisance' with general 'Probationary Licence'.
Not clearly stating *how* the drug use breached the agreement (e.g., quantity, type).
Filing it when the breach is minor and a simple warning letter would suffice.
Assuming this form covers all MDA breaches, even if they are under Section 28(1) or 28(2).
