[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was on the road behind someone smoking pot. We ended up stopped at a light in front of a gas station. I was behind him in the next lane over. Someone was trying to exit the gas station so the pot smoker backed up right into the car behind him to make room. The car that was hit was honking his horn to get his attention. I asked the driver if he was ok and he said he had a dash cam that had recorded not only what had just happened but the entire trip down the road where the high driver was clearly driving erratically. I would love to know what happened and if the hit driver would have been charged as a rear end if he had not recorded the incident.
Montgomery county has realized they have [b]made a huge mistake allowing people to smoke and drive[/b] because they just hired an agency to educate the public on using weed safely.[/quote]

Total straight up lie. Nobody is allowed to be impaired while driving. Period. [/quote]

What’s been defined as “impaired”?  A certain amount of cannabis in their system?  Is it against the law to smoke while driving altogether?[/quote]

Hasn’t been defined yet. [/quote]

You can be arrested for failing a field sobriety test, but not for a smell or any specific blood test measurement. [/quote]

Oh that’s clear as mud  :lol: [/quote]

If a trained officer can’t even tell if you’re impaired after performing multiple sobriety tests then there is no valid reason to suspect that the driver is impaired. That’s basic logic. On what basis should a driver who is not behaving impaires be detained?[/quote]

Recent use should be enough to lock you up. The high/impairment doesn’t always occur immediately. Like when consuming edibles. [/quote]
