Here is an interesting article on drug driving that we spotted.
Since March 15 UK Police have been able to use an on the spot saliva test to detect illegal drugs in the bodily systems of motorists. If a positive test is taken, the motorist can be hauled off to the Police Station and a blood or urine sample taken to confirm the presence of the illegal substance.
However in the article, the question surrounding impairment by legal drugs is raised. So if a motorist is found to be impaired by the presence of say a legal anti Hayfever course of tablets………..the consequences could be the same. As we know, advice on the packaging of such preparations often says ” do not drive or operate heavy machinery” etc.
