Like the additions to your license such as being able to drive large or otherwise non standard vehicles, Drug Driving additions would certify that you had attended training,and passed a driving test under the influence of the substance in question.
Know if you can

makes sense in theory...but nobody would pass, thats why
these laws form int he first place. |
|
| |

matter of the statistics of whats going to happen the next
time or the next. |

Could I get certified to drive with 0.15% alcohol? I would still be more alert to road hazards than most cell phone users. |

Anyway, I think it is odd how the automatic assumption is that someone is not able to drive after one or two beer. On the other hand, someone driving home after a 10 hour shift, with a sick kid at home who didn't sleep the previous night, is considered fit to drive until proven otherwise. |
|
| |
A more rational way to verify and certify fitness to drive would save a lot of lives. (+) |
|

Maybe if you were licensed to drive only while under the
influence of certain drugs... Have you ever witnessed
what happens to a driver when his/her Ritalin wears off? |
|

Have you had a conversation with
people who say they are ok to
drive or think after the use of
certain drugs or alcohol. Sure,
everthing gets alot more
interesting for them but the non
altered people they talk to are
bored out of their skull or scared
that these other people will start
driving. |

No one encourages people under
those circumstances to keep
driving, thus not making it a valid
justification to drive. There are
places on the side of the road that
allow for people to get water,
coffee, and even park if they are
too tired. If you feel that you
could be an at risk driver, get
sleep, drink fluids or get off the
road until you are better. |

[marked for deletion] Advocacy,
for the legalize drugs or unsafe
driving idea, and Bad Science,
(biology) thinking that this is in
any way safe. |
|

No offense Mod, I think you can do
better. I swear, I'm not this harsh
on everyone's ideas. |
|
| |
HWH, I read your profile and I
sadly understand exactly how you
feel. |
|
| |
I am one of the most careful drunk drivers I know. But
driving stoned, that's scarey. I need more practice.
Anybody got any weed? |
|
| |
I weed in your car, mystic. Will that help? |

1) At least in the US, the government seems unwilling to recognize the use of any illegal substances without prosecution. If the government were to, say, begin to be able to wrap its collective brain around the concept, I think drug education (a.k.a. how to take drugs safely if you are going to do it anyway) and more in-depth recovery programs are higher priorities. |
|
| |
2) Would the testing agency be made to supply whatever drug in order to test people or would they just trust that the people were high/drunk, etc. |
|
| |
Police in Britain is working on a reaktion test (link) that determines absolute if you are fit to drive. It would make the alcohol test obsolete on a rational basis. But I doubt that any of the teetotaler organizations would stop harassing drivers because they would loose a lot of funding. |
