The grey area for me is perscription drugs for medication.
Its very grey in whether some drugs effect your driving or your not told. Who to blame in this case doctors, pharmacies or drug companies and lastly US when advice is so poorly writen/given.
I read some in past which have said may effect you driving mechanical vehicles. May is there escape clause, it should be banned wording for legal porposes. Either it does effect you or dont. Maybe before we hit perscription drugs advice should be better.
Effectively only solution any body on prescription drugs for illness may as well stop driving its only safe way.
I all for banning stop those idiots who take recreation drugs but the government needs to get at drug companies to make sure there advice is much more clearer.
This going end well with such poor advice given to those on medication.
Personally there should be build weight grid with advice if X height/build this tablet fine. If your this build/height dont drive.
Other than this then everybody on perscription drugs should get free test now before they get caught or given machine to test themselves.
Some will say you should be noticing you cant drive but you in yourself may feel absolute fine not drowsy.
I have in past took antibiotics which have clear no driving machinery felt fine did not drive though.
Hate this issue for my food problem may contain nuts is my biggest hate.
I have nut allergy either they do job properly clean the lines not mix them or state it has nuts.

Due to the way these reports NEVER say how many accidents involved people on illegal drugs, it is obvious that a huge portion of the scary number is made up of legal drugs.
Then you have the girl who's parent started off this whole drug testing campaign. She ran out into the middle of a road to get a ball and got hit by a car. Because the guy that hit her had smoked a joint earlier, it automatically became the fault of the drug driver. The kids parents needed someone to blame instead of themselves for letting their kid play out on that busy road.
So anyone who takes any medication and is involved in an accident, even if it is someone driving into you, will become a drug drive statistic in the sense of the quote above.
Driving while not in full control of your car shouldn't be done. This test however will make criminals of people who are no harm to anyone.

hate it too same with RABS (road accident blackspots) it may not be driver issue for those accidents and therefoe not blackspot at all. But you can guarantee charlottes from council, police road safety campaign slap nice shiny camera there. Then when true blackspot is there ignore it due to lack funds.
We had it here majority get to suffer from **** or idiots who need to learn safe ways crossing roads or stop racing.
Yes agree stats so pushed into generalisation when it comes to want to push through agenda's.
