Not opposed to legal cannabis at all, but as a cyclist, I'm very opposed to impaired driving whether it's booze, pot, or staring at a mobile phone.

- wolco 7y agoWhat about coffee, sugar or people driving with headaches? Those three can really affect my driving.
- InitialLastName 7y agoPast that, if you've been awake for 18 hours, you're very likely to be impaired to the same extent as a 0.08 BAC.
- davidw 7y agoCertainly. That's not a good reason to let people drive high or drunk though.
- Phlarp 7y agoIt would be a good reason to put effort into a "breath test for sleep" before other "breath test for X" methods / devices.
- johnisgood 7y agoIt would be a good reason to test for actual impairment with a clearly defined set of behaviors or lack thereof that indicate impairment.
- cmiles74 7y agoI'm a cyclist as well and impairment via cell-phone or hands-free call has been the most threatening for myself personally. And every parking lot ever is liking gambling with my life.
- davidw 7y agoI'd agree - but probably because it seems to be so common compared to drunk or high people.
- cmrdporcupine 7y agoI have to wonder about the combination of those two -- marijuana impairment + mobile phone (or, hell, the car stereo). In my experience cannabis just destroys my ability to context switch effectively. Other people, not so much. Electronics in the car are already a distraction, but I suspect far worse for someone impaired.
