Driving while impaired by a drug
People impaired by a drug are not safe drivers because of the effects of drugs on the body. Impaired drivers put everyone at risk including others on the road, pedestrians and their own passengers.
Driving impaired by a drug is also illegal and is subject to serious penalties including the potential for life imprisonment if there is a death. On April 13, 2017, we proposed legislation that would strengthen impaired driving laws and help better protect you from drug-impaired driving.
