Mission Statement
Drugged drivers threaten the lives of random and innocent roadway users every day throughout New York State.
This site is intended to educate, inform and raise awareness of the issues surrounding drugged driving in New York State.
New York's drugged driving laws are full of loopholes. Drugged drivers are frequently not being identified until after they have crashed – after they have hurt or killed someone. New York's laws do not work well to stop drugged drivers before they crash - that leaves deadly drivers free to endanger everyone.
The current laws are ineffective.
The MISSION is to bring CHANGE to SAVE LIVES
This broad coalition of traffic safety advocates, criminal justice professionals, businesses and organizations was formed to urge passage of a law to close the dangerous loopholes in drugged driving.

INFORMATION, STATISTICS & VIDEO CLIPS
The Deadly Driving Bill does NOT create a new crime - It makes the existing law workable for the first time
The Deadly Driving Bill does NOT expand law enforcement‘s ability to stop cars
The Deadly Driving
Bill does NOT impact cannabis legalization.
It was illegal to drive while impaired by cannabis before. It still is. It’s the same as having Alcohol DWI laws. They did not
reinstate prohibition
NORML’s Official position: (Nevada Testimony 4/21)
1. oppose the act of driving under the influence of any controlled substance, including cannabis,
2. oppose per se or “presence” statutes, support actual impairment (Deadly Driving Bill uses this standard)
3. support evidence-based laws, tools, other legal
efforts to discourage this behavior
Cannabis & Psychomotor Performance 7/2012:
Driver crashed into a pole on a NYC street. Responding POs had to release him because they could not name what substance was impairing the driver. Even without seeing the driver‘s eyes, his impairment is obvious.
CLICK THE PAUSE or PLAY SYMBOL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VIDEO TO GET SOUND. A “MUST“.
Victim statement of Jawana Richardson. Her husband, Sherman, was killed by a drunk and drugged driver.
