Closed petition Restrict drug driving offences to when a person is unfit to drive

Currently it is an offence to drive if you have certain levels of illegal drugs in your blood, even if they have not affected your driving. We believe the offence of drug driving should only apply where this makes a person unfit to drive.

More details

Because if the drug itself is not affecting your driving abilities then why should the driver be penalised for it?

We believe the current legislation is causing many people unnecessary hardship, where they have drugs in their blood but are safe to drive.
