New illegal limits and tougher penalties for drug-impaired driving.

Qualifying drugs refers to controlled substances and prescription medicines. Check the label on the medicine to see if there is a warning. Remember to check with the person giving you your medicine that it is OK to drive. The changes to the legislation include new illegal limits with lower limits for infringements, and tougher penalties for drivers found to be driving while impaired. Whether you consumed one or more qualifying drug, and mixed drugs and alcohol together – will determine the offence that applies. Each listed qualifying drug has a tolerance and high-risk blood concentration level. Over the past few years, there has been a consistent rise in the presence of impairing drugs in driver’s blood in fatal crashes which is now generally about equal to alcohol, having more than doubled since 2015. Results from an evidential blood test determines the type of offence. Schedule 5 includes the blood concentration level for each listed qualifying drug. New enforcement levels for drugs have lower limits for infringements and higher penalties for mixing drugs and alcohol. For listed qualifying drugs this is a test for a quantitative level, and for unlisted qualifying drugs for presence only. The new drug driving law includes illegal limits for specified prescription medicines and illicit drugs that impair the driver’s ability to drive safely; and have the highest risk to road safety in New Zealand.
