The Transport Minister says the Government's more focused on drunk and drugged drivers than speed limits. The Government has reversed the first of 38 speed limit reductions across the country's State Highways. The rest are due to come into force before July, while another 49 sections of road are open for public consultation. Transport Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking his goal is to address what he claims is the number one killer on New Zealand roads: drugs and alcohol. He says the country is being brought into line with other jurisdictions with roadside drug testing and increased breath testing. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This podcast episode talks about the dangers of impaired driving and some tips to slow consumption of alcohol while still enjoying the festivities.
Take off the "Beer Goggles" when thinking about Drugged Driving. Driving while impaired is illegal whether it is from alcohol or any other drugs. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration drug use among fatally injured drivers who were tested fro drugs rose fro 25% in 2007 to 42% in 2016, and marijuana presence doubled in that time frame. Marijuana users were about 25% more likely to be involved in a crash than drivers with no marijuana use. Jennifer Cifaldi Jennifer Cifaldi has served as the Illinois Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor since 2016 and is employed by the Univ. of Illinois, Springfield through a grant provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation. She is a nationally recognized expert and speaker on impaired driving. She has served on the Lifesaver's Speaker Proposal Committee and Drug Recognition Expert Conference Speaker Proposal Committee. She has presented several times at these and other national conferences. She also serves on the Speaker's Bureau for the National Marijuana Initiative and has trained thousands of officers, prosecutors, probation officers, victim advocates, and judges both in her state of Illinois and nationwide. From 1996-2016, Jennifer served as an Assistant State's Attorney in the Adams County States Attorney's Office prosecuting tens of thousands of impaired driving cases. In 2007, Jennifer developed a DUI No-Refusal search warrant model that has now been adopted as the standard for law enforcement agencies and prosecutor offices across Illinois. She authored a manual on how to implement a “No-Refusal” program for prosecutors. She has conducted numerous training sessions on the topic for law enforcement personnel, as well as other prosecutors. Additionally, she is a regular instructor at Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement programs and at Drug Recognition Expert schools. During her time in the State's Attorneys Office, she presented to thousands of high school students at assemblies during prom and homecoming and was a regular instructor in the driver's education programs in her area. In the spring of 2018, with support from the Buffett Foundation, Jennifer implemented the Illinois Law Enforcement Phlebotomy Program (ILEPP). She assembled a team of Drug Recognition Experts and academia from Macon County, Illinois, and they traveled to Phoenix, Arizona to attend the forensic phlebotomy training that Arizona has been utilizing for nearly 25 years. The Illinois officers have been successfully performing their own venipunctures at their departments since that time. Jennifer has worked with Richland Community College to assist them in developing the curriculum and has instructed at the forensic phlebotomy course currently offered. She served as the interim Illinois State Phlebotomy Coordinator from 2018-2020. She also drafted the ILEPP standards and procedures. There are now over 25 officers in Illinois who are part of the ILEPP. This training allows officers to perform blood draws on impaired drivers in a safe and efficient manner and alleviates the need to involve hospitals in their investigations. In 2016, Jennifer was the recipient of the National Traffic Safety Prosecutor of the Year award presented to her by the National Association of Prosecutor Coordinators. She was also the recipient of the MADD Hero award in 2011 for her work on prosecuting DUI cases. And in 2014, she was awarded the 2014 Murphy Leadership award for her vision, execution, and relentless effort to eliminate impaired driving and underage drinking. Additionally, she serves on the Illinois Impaired Driving Task Force Committee and the Illinois Traffic Records Coordinating Committee. Jennifer earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Law and Society from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana in 1993 and her Juris Doctorate from Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, Indiana in 1996. She also was an Adjunct Professor at Hannibal LaGrang

With safer vehicle designed driver assistance, technology and mountains of data available from monitoring devices, why is it that vehicle crashes and deaths continue to rise? With the decades of research, public awareness and marketing that has happened around the world with regards to impaired driving, there's data to suggest that 45 to 50% of all fatal crashes involve a driver under the influence of one or more substances. “When we look at drugs, people may not be aware or perceive that they've got a negative performance impact on their driving… they just are unaware of the fact that they are impaired, they think that they've got it and they express a level of confidence.”Given the pace at which cannabis legalisation and use is growing, we spoke with Dr. Timothy Brown, research scientist and director of drug driving research at the University of Iowa College of Engineering, about the impact of cannabis and other drugs on impaired driving. He shares how he became involved in drug driving research, the groundbreaking antihistamine research in the 90s, why it's complicated to say how much cannabis makes you impaired, at what point does a drug require a driving study from the FDA for approval, and why we aren't identifying impaired driving as a significant contributor to the upward trends in crash statistics.“If we can't document what the problem is, then people believe there's not a problem. That's the challenge. Distraction wasn't an issue until we started getting stats that showed that there were concerns [about] an increase in folks who were using their cell phones and getting involved in crashes.”To find out more about how we can keep our roads safer, download and listen today.

A Kaiser doctor gives a marijuana “medical prescription” to a young man with history of depression and PTSD. As a drugged driver he kills 1 person and injures 5 others. Is the doctor liable? The courts dismissed the case and the poor young man ended his life in suicide.

Myth – Marijuana does not impairs driving ability. Marijuana's ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) impairs driving skills in a dose-related manner. The more one consumes, the greater the effect. THC causes a decline in motor performance resulting in delayed reaction times and a reduced ability to stay in one's own driving lane. Cognitive functions decline which reduces one's ability to maintain sustained attention to driving conditions, leads to poor decision-making, impulse control and memory.[i],[ii] The adverse effects of THC on driving safety have been proven with controlled laboratory experiments[iii], driving simulators[iv],[v] and real-world driving experiments[vi]. Myth – Driving under the influence of marijuana is safe because drivers go more slowly and avoid risky situations. This myth is supported by a scene from Cheech and Chong's movie “Up in Smoke,' but little else. Subjects in some driving simulator studies were fairly self-aware of their impairment smoking marijuana and drove more slowly. But those users were much less successful in compensating for their impairment under emergency driving conditions. Researchers concluded that simulator studies were only able to show how marijuana users were able to drive after using the drug, rather than how they actually drove in the real world[vii]. Both the California State Patrol and the Colorado State Patrol have repor

Determining if a driver has too much alcohol in his or her system is now easily measured. But with more states approving the sale and use of recreational marijuana, knowing whether a driver is impaired with that drug—or other substances—is much more difficult to prove scientifically. In this episode, we explore actions states are taking to address this complex issue. Our guests are: Robert Ritter, director of the Office of Impaired Driving and Occupant Protection at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Representative Jonathan Singer (D-Colo.), who successfully guided legislation through his state legislature on this issue soon after Colorado became the first to approve recreational marijuana.
