RAC wants drug-driving limit

The RAC has called for a drug-driving limit for people who use their
cars while under the influence of illegal drugs.

The motoring organisation also wants the Government to launch a
high-profile TV campaign warning of the dangers of drug-driving.

However, the RAC admits it would be difficult to set a legal driving
limit for cannabis because traces of the drug can stay in the body for
up to a month.

The road safety charity Road Peace agrees measures are needed to
combat drug use among motorists.

A spokeswoman said: "People have been allowed to drive under the
influence of drugs with impunity."

Britain is now the biggest user of cannabis in Europe and a new
Government report is expected to show a big rise in the incidents of
drug-driving.
