    • Only problem though is that the law is not written around impairment - it's based on the detection of the drug in a driver's system (usually through detecting its metabolites). So from that perspective, my understanding is that it's still a DUI and it's still a second offence. We can't get away from that. 

      I agree that the Mam example is not equivalent. Luckily there was no accident or injury caused.

      • Correct , drug driving is drug driving. No low or high reading exists in the context here . He may as well have just done a big rail on the dashboard.  Everyone knows this , it's not even a discussion that has relevance to his predicament when it comes to the NRL / clubs rulings . 

        • He passed the alchol test and failed the drug test, is that a normal procedure, i.e. was he stopped randomly or for an offence? If he has reckless driving in there, he's fcuked.....

          • He has form, his car would be flagged as a potential drug driver. Same as anyone with a history of driving pissed or unlicensed car does.  I'd say it was targeted due to that. Or it was a random roadside which is unlikely as it was in Newtown ? Can't say I've ever seen a random booze bus set up on the side of the road in Newtown.  Most likely scenario due to location is coppers were cruising and got a hit on his plates as a potential DUI and thought let's go pull old mate JAC over and test him for shits and giggles and struck gold.  

      • That's correct, fishbulb. It's zero tolerance for drugs. But my point was about the loose, moral talk of the club sacking him for drugs AND reckless or impaired driving. 

        • Yeah, fair point Daz - any call should be based on the evidence

    • Yeah his only hope really is the 2nd test comes back clean, which would be a miracle lol. 

    • Lab results could take up to 10-12 weeks.

      • Bulldogs got a quick result, i think it was under a week. I think they had to pay for it.

        • Maybe Parra do so who knows.
