Families Demand Immediate License Revocation for Drug-Driving
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Families of drug-drive fatality victims and police officials are advocating for new powers to immediately revoke driver licenses at the roadside if drug impairment is suspected. This demand arises from a 78% increase in driver fatalities linked to drug driving between 2014 and 2023. Charlie Ward, whose father was killed by a drug-driver, and Linzi Stewart, whose brother was killed by a driver under the influence, are among those pushing for this change. The National Police Chiefs Council supports this, as current blood tests can take weeks to analyze, leaving potentially dangerous drivers on the road.
