News Shopper: MP Jo Johnson supports crackdown on drug driving
Tuesday, 11 October 2011 10:20

drugdrivingOrpington MP Jo Johnson has come out in support of a crack down on drug drivers following the death of a 14-year-old Biggin Hill schoolgirl. 

Campaigners want "Lillian's Law" to be introduced, which calls for the Government to introduce roadside drug testing devices, similar to breathalysers, to make driving under the influence of drugs illegal, and to impose tougher sentences on those found guilty of drug-driving.

Orpington MP Jo Johnson said:"Currently the level of drug driving in the UK is too high and broadly speaking I am supportive of attempts to crack down on it.  I agree with the general push of Lillian's Law to take drug driving as seriously as it does drink driving.  I think we can probably do more to make sure as much is known about driving under the influence of cannabis as drink."
