Fysisk beskrivning
Anmärkning: Innehållsbeskrivning, sammanfattning The effects of alcohol on driving are well known. Both the prevalence of drink-driving and methods of detecting it have been analysed. The statutory alcohol levels have been laid down on the basis of reliable information and of experience, and prevention and punishment measures and policies also draw on practical information. The same is not the case, however, for "illicit" drugs, whether taken in isolation or in combination with alcohol or with various medicines. It is not going to far to say that there has been no satisfactory investigation into the scale of the phenomenon, the actual effects on drivers of "illicit" substances or potential detection techniques. Thus the authorities face the difficult task of solving equations containing many unknown factors. Is this issue something to be tackled as part of a comprehensive drugs policy, or is it not rather a road safety issue? The difference in approach is not without consequences. If the first path is chosen, should a "zero tolerance" approach be adopted, amounting to a prohibition of driving for anyone who has taken "illicit" drugs? On the other hand, if the road safety viewpoint is chosen, will the problem be solved by simply laying down concentration limits based on driving ability which would be enforceable by law? (From the preface)
