Obviously their is a difference in our lexicon, someone who has had a whiff of pot smoke may not drive dangerous per se, but his/her reaction time may be affected in an emergency situation.

When I think of someone driving dangerously, they swrive all over the road, etc.

With a small amount of exposure to the smoke, could it affect someone's driving to the point where they could be more of a hazard on the road than they would be 100% sober. The answer to that is unequivocally yes.
Ok... I guess we disagree as to the extent of affect a whiff of second hand marijuana smoke is. I'd say negligble, reaction time would not be affected. Its a smell at that point, not an inhaled dose. When I smell second-hand cigarette smoke while walking by a smoker I don't get a tobacco/nicotine buzz, I'd expect the same result with a marijuana smoker.
