So I guess that's an example of a study that didn't really prove the governments agenda all too well.
Also proves that it will be quite a hassle figuring out what kind of tolerance is appropriate... That is until MADD comes and cries bloody murder.

Years ago I found test results on a bc government website about drivers high on pot. The end comparision was that stoned drivers tended to be more cautious. And the only significant difference between a sober driver and a stoned driver was in reaction times. That difference was comparable to drivers that had less then a full nights sleep.
I think drivers with lack of sleep should be of concern. Alot of those people don't pay attention.
