Can you drive a light quadricycle after using soft drugs such as marijuana?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
The question is about driving a light quadricycle after using drugs such as marijuana. Driving a vehicle after using such substances is prohibited - the answer is NO.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits a person from driving a vehicle when intoxicated, after drinking alcohol, or after using a substance that acts similarly to alcohol. Marijuana and other drugs are such substances - they lengthen reaction time and impair your judgement of distance and speed, as well as your concentration. There is no "safe" dose, and no division into soft and hard drugs. Driving under the influence of a narcotic substance is a crime, and the law provides for a penalty of imprisonment and a driving ban. The effect of marijuana can last many hours, and police drug tests detect its presence.
Legal basis: Art. 45 para. 1 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); Art. 178a § 1 of the Criminal Code
