A new anti-drug law will come into effect in England and Wales
on 2 March 2015.
So why is this new legislation being introduced?
The new law aims to catch and punish those who put the lives of
others at risk while driving under the influence of drugs.
So is it just illegal drugs that the new law will outlaw?
No, as well as banning driving while under the influence of
illegal drugs, the new law will include some prescription
medicines.
So how do I know whether the new laws will affect me?
The new legislation sets very low levels for eight well known
illegal drugs, including cannabis and cocaine, but also includes
eight prescription drugs, where the levels have been set much
higher.
