Law Enforcement Preparing to Arrest High Drivers

 

 Don't think you won't get arrested for driving high. Kansas law enforcement and justice systems gear up to make more arrests for this DUI offense. A new AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety survey reveals that nearly 70 percent of Americans think it’s unlikely a driver will get caught.

 

An estimated 14.8 million Americans report driving within one hour after using, and the most impairing effects of marijuana are within the first one to four hours. Studies indicate drivers high on marijuana are up to twice as likely to be involved in a crash.

 

Training programs such as Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) and the Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC)

were developed around the country to more effectively recognize drug-impaired driving, and law enforcement is getting more sophisticated in their methods for identifying marijuana-impaired drivers .
