Promoting effective per se laws to define Driving Under the Influence of
Drugs (DUID)
A drug per se law defines drug impairment by laboratory tests alone.
Welcome to the
Deception Pass 3 Website
This website is dedicated to all those victims who have been killed or injured
by
drivers under the influence of illegal drugs. The story that
made the DUID problem
so apparent
is detailed in the book Deception Pass.
Click here to read a brief of
the tragedy.
All states define alcohol DUI per se by laboratory tests
showing blood alcohol level greater
than 0.08 gm/dl for adults
and greater than zero (or 0.02 gm/dl) for minors. Laboratory
tests are routinely performed for all suspected alcohol DUI cases.
Only 17 states define DUID per se by
objective laboratory tests. In other states,
more difficult, costly, and subjective means must be used to prove DUID.
Laboratory
tests are not routinely performed for all suspected drug DUI cases.

addressing the DUID problem.
