Another claim of "taking tranquilizers"...a positive test for hemp

[Anchor]
A man who crossed the center line and caused a traffic accident was arrested for testing positive for hemp.

However, this man insisted on taking tranquilizers like a driver of a reverse driving accident in Gangnam Station not long ago.

Citizens around
are also surprised and look at the scene.

However, the behavior of the man who got out of the car to deal with the accident was strange.

He stumbled and walked awkwardly, and his speech was poor, but the police tested him for alcohol, but it was confirmed that he did not drink.

The man claimed to have taken tranquilizers an hour ago.

However, 2.3g of hemp was found in the car and a simple reagent test showed a positive result of hemp, and the current criminal was arrested.

However, the man reportedly stated that he did not do hemp on the day of the accident.

[Na Young-joo / Head of traffic department at Seoul Gwanak Police Station: Investigate whether he is actually taking tranquilizers after receiving a doctor's prescription.... We are also considering dealing with new recruits by reviewing concerns about additional crimes.

While a driver who recently caused an eight-car crash near Gangnam Station stated that he had taken tranquilizers, civil unrest is growing as there are other cases claiming to take tranquilizers.

However, it is difficult to know whether the drug was driven before the accident even if it is suspicious because the test cannot be enforced,
Even if you lie that you took a tranquilizer to reduce your sentence even after taking the drug
, there is no way to check if you refuse the test.

[Jeong Kyung-il / Lawyer: Refusing to drink and drive may result in criminal punishment. However, in the case of drug driving, it is difficult to crack down because there are no punishment regulations and forced investigations are not possible even if they refuse.

As a result, it is pointed out that it is urgent to prepare specific standards to prohibit driving for a certain period of time when taking tranquilizers and to prepare legislation to enforce drug driving crackdowns.
