DOPED DRIVERS GET PUT THROUGH TESTS
Manitoba drivers suspected of being high on drugs will be asked to
perform a specific series of tasks, including standing on one leg
while counting out loud, under new regulations approved by the NDP
government. The new regulations stem from amendments to the provincial
Highway Traffic Act approved by the legislature last spring. Those who
fail the test can have their vehicles impounded and driver's licence
suspended for 24 hours or more.
