![]() ![]() states allow in humans driving cars on public roads. Compare that 1,000-2,000 picograms of “forbidden substance” detected to the 80 billion picograms/dcl required to convict a drunk driver of a DWI, and you will see that the concentrations of forbidden substances identified leading to infractions called and prosecuted by the USEF are 800 million times smaller than what the governments of most U.S. The USEF laboratory and prosecutor are calling and prosecuting positive reports at 1,000-2,000 picograms. 08 gram/dcl alcohol limit for driving under the influence to picograms, that would be 80,000,000,000 (80 billion) picograms. In 1970 the limits of detection were in the microgram (.000001) range, i.e. Now the USEF uses a unit of measurement one billion times smaller, picograms, or one trillionth of a gram. 08, the evidence is gathered in micrograms, the same units as were commonly used as the standard in the 1970s when the USEF drug rule, in its present manifestation, was created. To find a person guilty of drunken driving with a limit of. These limits were not arbitrarily chosen and do not assume that if detected in any amount a violation has occurred. The regulation, which is uniformly applied in most of the 50 states, is designed to allow alcohol consumption, but not to the extent that driving is adversely affected. At or above these quantities, it’s presumed the ability of the vehicle operator is impaired. For commercial drivers (including school bus operators) the limit is. The limit in most states for non-commercial drivers is. Limits are established to prevent driving while under the influence of alcohol. That is absurd.ĭrivers are allowed to drink alcohol and drive. ![]() If the premises of GR410 were applied in the context of operating automobiles, the rule is the logical equivalent of having no speed limit, such that any movement detected by radar is considered a violation if it has been proven that cars, at some speeds and in certain contexts, may be a threat to society. The rule simply requires the lab detect the presence of a forbidden substance. a threshold concentration of a forbidden substance below which a positive report will not issue, for all but a very few therapeutic medications. The rule does not post a “speed limit,” i.e. Equestrian Federation has Equine Drugs and Medications, Therapeutic Substance Provisions in its rulebook as GR410 and Forbidden Substances as 409. Speed limits are regulations with a rational basis in science (statistics, safety factors related to speed, and the ability to control a moving vehicle) and are in place to protect the innocent passengers and to protect the operators of vehicles in compliance with the limits placed from unfounded allegations of violations. The law enforcement agency does not simply have to prove that there was a vehicle and there was motion. The law enforcement agency must prove to the court that the radar detector is properly calibrated and can determine speeds with precise and repeatable accuracy and that the speed recorded was in excess of the posted speed limit. It’s the speed relative to the safety risks posed by the environment in which the car is traveling that determines the threat.ĭoes the radar alone determine that a violation has occurred? No. The presence of speed alone is not a threat. Do we make laws that create a speeding violation for any movement at all? No. We now have radar that can detect movement below a single mile per hour. The degree of risk presented in each situation-whether a school crossing zone, neighborhood or highway-determines the speed limit. But different streets, roads, highways and freeways each require different speed limits because these each present different risks. ![]() Speed limits: They reduce our risk of injury or death. ![]()
