New marijuana breath test promises accurate readings of THC levels

Detecting marijuana by way of a road-side test seems an obvious enough measure as the legalization movement gathers momentum, but an effective technology is yet to really be established. Current approaches relying on blood and urine samples are unable to distinguish between somebody driving under the influence, and somebody that has simply used the drug sometime in the last month. But one US company now claims to have developed a breathalyzer system that can measure levels of THC in one’s breath to determine how much a road user is impaired when behind the wheel.

Why not (in an auto trans)? Left foot on brake.. 2 hands free for holding the hose..

If you’re in an accident, the insurance company may refuse a payout. They’ll try every excuse not to pay; your right knee may be enough for them to argue that you’re not fit to drive.

if you lose your right leg, you have to be re-tested for your licence, if you lose your left leg, they just change your licence to ‘automatic only’
