Drug-driving campaign is launched
From today, and about bloody time too, Plod will be looking with renewed vim and vigour for drivers under the influence of Bolivian marching powder and a host of other alternative stress therapies.
A TV ad will warn motorists that police can spot signs someone is under the influence of drugs if they are stopped, while the Department for Bicycle Lanes says one in 10 young male drivers admits drug driving and education is crucial.
Well yes, no one wants to be getting wrong changed by their dealer simply because they did not listen during sums.
Anyone caught drug-driving can face six months in prison and a £5,000 fine. Alternatively they won't.
The campaign is led by a television advert which: "Your eyes will give you away."
I would like to point out that there are other signs of being recreationally off your swede.
Muti-packs of crisps and bags of fun sized confectionery, often supported by a trail of crumbs on the pot-head's chest are one. Uncontrolled, incomprehensible jabbering is another, although this could simply be a case of an officer having stopped an MP.
A dreamy far away look and carelessly discarded Marc Bolan CDs often indicated both LSD abuse and an inability to break through to the 21st century.
But hey, here's the big one. Drivers stopped sitting amid a litter of dump Kleenex should be immediately tested for night nurse and asked just where they have hidden the Tamiflu.
