Drug driving shake up

New drug-driving legislation could soon allow police officers to test drivers at the roadside. But should they take a zero-tolerance stance? We’d like to know what you think.

Currently, police have to prove driving was impaired by the drug use in order to bring charges.

What do you think of the proposed changes? Tell us your views in the comments below…
