MADD URGES ROADSIDE DRUG TESTS

The federal government is considering reviving a failed bill from the
Liberal era that would impose roadside tests to catch people driving
under the influence of drugs. A spokesman for Justice Minister Vic
Toews confirmed the prospect after members of Mothers Against Drunk
Driving met with Mr. Toews yesterday to push for stiffer penalties
against impaired drivers. MADD also wants the government to lower the
legal blood alcohol limit to 50 milligrams per 100 millilitres of
blood from the current 80 milligrams.
