| 12/05/2023 | Dear Sir/Madam I am writing to request access to information under the Freedom of Information Act 1991. I am seeking information relating to changes made to the South Australian Road Traffic Act 1961 (Part 3, div 5), specifically those sections related to the presence of Tetrahydrocannabinol (hereinafter referred to as "THC"). These significant changes came into effect on the 13th of February, 2023. I am concerned with the immediate loss of license resulting from any trace of THC found in the driver's system, regardless of whether it is legally prescribed or having any influence on the driver whatsoever. It is my understanding that a driver can lose their license even if they have not consumed the legally prescribed product for many days or weeks prior to driving. This has significant implications for patients who rely on medical cannabis to manage their symptoms and who may be unfairly punished under the new law. Therefore, I request the following information: 1. All data relied upon to justify changes to the Act. This should include studies and statistical data. 4. The data relied upon by the government to back the claim: "On average, over the past five years (2017 - 2021), 20% of drivers/riders killed on South Australian roads tested positive for a prescribed drug". 5. All South Australian statistics since 2017 related to drivers killed and injured as a result of any kind of drug, including where possible, a percentage breakdown stratified by individual drug. 6. Data/statistics relating to the total number of road accidents which resulted in death and injury since 2017, stratified by the reason for the accident where available. 7. Any data related to the number of accidents/deaths caused by drivers who were prescribed medical cannabis. 8. Data which shows the total number of roadside deaths since 2017 which have been a result of a driver who had THC alone in their system. The reason for this request is due to the absurdity of grouping a medical cannabis user with someone who is taking a concoction of drugs. Eg. To suggest someone whose BAC was .25 and had THC in their system (possibly from weeks ago) is a "drug driver" is clearly nonsensical, unless the "drug" is alcohol. 11. All documentation related to the specific equipment used to test for THC, including studies relied upon when taking into consideration the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the testing equipment. This should include data which details the false positive/negative rate, as well as detection timeframes depending on the consumption method. For example, data/studies relating to the detection periods of oral consumption of THC oil. Thank you for your time and consideration. | 23-2029 | SAPOL 23-2029 |

The taskforce hasn’t completed the work undertaken as was put by the member.

| 12/11/2020 | I refer to an alleged Expiation Notice issued to me - Expiation Notice number V3696595A. I'm seeking more information to ascertain what actual evidence can be provided in this prescribed situation as this was reportedly a temporary speed limit reduction. These are not necessarily documents I am seeking as such but information sourced from digital records for the most part, I expect. I am sorry, I do have a fair few questions. The information in the Expiation Notice was really lacking and I've already received conflicting information in my follow up enquiries which is concerning of course. Q1. What is the precise location of L2 on Princes Highway? Q2. In relation to my alleged offence, what is the exact time that the enforceable reduced speed limit commenced? Q3. What is the reason for the reduced speed limit exactly and the location of the interference? Q4. Where were the enforceable reduced speed signs displayed for this incident? In how many locations and exact location please? Q5. In conjunction with Q4. were there any staggered speed limit reduction signs or only 90kmph then 60kmph? Q6. Were lower speed limits varied at all during the whole of the period that is applicable to this interference? Q7. What type of signs were used to display reduced speed limits? Assuming digital, what evidence can be provided that they were actually working in situ and not faulty in situ? Q8. At exactly time was the speed limit resumed for the normal speed of 90kmph for this area? Q9. What is the total number of vehicles expiated for a speeding offence at L2 during the whole of the period of this enforceable speed limit reduction on this day (between the times drawn from the questions asked above) on the evening of 30/07/2019? Q10. For the equivalent time period on 29/07/2019 and 31/07/2019 how many expiations were issued for speeding offences at L2? Were any reduced speed limits in place at the same location on either of these dates? In the event there was ongoing interruptions during this period then I'm looking for the comparison data for 16/07/2019 and 23/07/2019 at the same location when the normal 90kmph speed limits were in place. I reserve my right for supplementary questions depending on the information provided to the above. | SAPOL 21/0742 | SAPOL 21/0742 (pdf 2.5 MB) |
