The Deadly Driving Bill (S.3135/A.174) would finally allow police to arrest obviously impaired drugged drivers regardless of whether the impairing substance is named or on a list. The type of alcohol doesn’t have to be named for drunk driving arrests and can be based on observations without a test. The same should be true for drugged driving.

The result of ineffective laws is the destruction of families across the state.

Here is one of them:

Marine Veteran, Patrice Huntley, his 13 year old daughter, Hannah, his 10 year old son, Jeremiah and his 6 year old granddaughter, Chantel were killed in a horrific crash on Long Island. The driver is alleged to have been driving 120 mph while impaired by fentanyl and cocaine when he crashed into the back of the family’s car which was stopped in a line of traffic at a red light on Sunrise Highway in East Massapequa. The family had been going to get ice cream at 7:20 in the evening on Sunday, August 6. In an instant, 3 members of the Huntley family had their lives violently stolen. Young Chantel perished from her injuries days later, while other family members fought for recovery in the hospital.
