NEW
EVENT FOR HEMP OLYMPIX - Inspired by the Victorian Governments
proposed amendment to the Road Safety Bill… “Police will be armed with video
cameras to record suspect drivers as they perform a series of exercises. Motorists who
wobble, trip, stumble or fall during balancing tests will be deemed possible drug drivers.
They will be taken to police stations and forced to give blood and urine samples and be
charged if they test positive. The three tests suspects must perform are; Eye Gazing - Drivers will be
asked to move their eyes from side to side. Police will be trained to recognise
drug-induced symptoms such as involuntary eye jerking and pupils rolling too far. Walk and Turn - Suspects must
stand with their arms at their sides and their feet in the heel to toe stance. Police will
then direct them to take nine steps in a straight line, turn, and repeat the exercise. One Leg Stand - With arms at
the side, drivers will be told to lift one foot off the ground by about 15cms and hold the
position for 30 secs. They must count the half minute exercise out loud.” Offenders risk jail, $2500 fines and long licence suspensions. |
