ORLANDO - News 6 traffic safety expert Trooper Steve Montiero answers viewer questions about the rules of the road every week, helping Orlando-area residents become better drivers by being better educated.
Trooper Steve on Thursday was asked, “Can you be charged with a DUI for using marijuana?”
“Yes,” Trooper Steve said. “If your normal faculties are impaired by anything that affects your operation of a motor vehicle, you could be charged with DUI.”
There are medical laws that pertain to transportation, but we’re talking about driving under the influence of the drug, Trooper Steve said.
