Drug Driving

Are the Drug Driving Laws Fair?

This law will subject many people to criminal prosecution. Our laws give a green light to heroin injecting in sanctioned rooms at Kings Cross but criminalize people who use drugs but are not at all affected when driving. Some say this law is to identify drug users in the community. Children caught in possession of small quantities of cannabis can receive a caution – but not if they smoked cannabis say 2 weeks ago and drove on P plates. Adults caught with small quantities of cannabis can receive a Criminal Infringement Notice instead of being prosecuted in a court. These laws penalize people for past drug use.

Nobody could possibly condone the use of a motor vehicle when under the influence of a drug – but this law is not concerned with a person being under the influence – those laws already exist (DUI)
