This Order makes amendments to the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 which are consequential upon the insertion of section 5A into the Road Traffic Act 1988 (“RTA”) by section 56 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013. Section 5A of the RTA provides for new offences when a person (a) drives or attempts to drive a motor vehicle on a road or other public place, or (b) is in charge of a motor vehicle on a road or other public place, and there is in that person’s body a specified controlled drug in the blood or urine in excess of the specified limit for that drug. The amendments made by this Order provide for the same penalties to be available to the courts and period of endorsement for the new offences as those already available in relation to similar alcohol related road traffic offences.
