It has been a long time coming, but today was bill 142 treated for the third and last time in folketingssalen, and so it is more lenient to run with the hash in the blood.
All parties were included in 2016, an agreement that the old system, which was adopted in 2011, was too strong, and now, it should be reduced.
According to the current rules are even the slightest hashrus over a de minimis threshold of one micrograms of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, red.) pr. liters of blood are punished with unconditional withdrawal of the driving licence for at least three years. But now, you will relax the zero-tolerance and according to the new rules, you will compare a hashpåvirkning with a spirituspåvirkning.
in the Future should the punishment be graduated, so that it is only with the THC content in the blood of over nine micrograms (equivalent to a bac of over 1,20) per day. liters of blood, that the licence smoking unconditionally for at least three years – in førstegangstilfælde.
With a lower THC content of between three and nine micrograms per. liters of blood – the equivalent to a blood alcohol of 0.5-1,2 – becomes the penalty is suspension of the driving licence, while driving with a THC content in the blood stream, exceeding a microgram but not three micrograms – the equivalent to a blood alcohol of 0,21-0,50 – alone will result in a cut in driving licence
however, It is not only the ‘new’ hashbilister who get pleasure from the new law. For when the law enters into force, the reset generaliebladet with regard to previous convictions for hashkørsel.
It will say that a hashbilist, there has previously been a conviction for hashkørsel, get wiped the slate clean. The motorist will therefore not be affected by the rule of repetition, where the punishment is more severe than for førstegangsforseelser.
The 31. august 2016 put to the attorney general all cases of hashkørsel in abeyance, and he called the cases back from the prosecution. Therefore, there is a great difference as to whether they have been convicted before or after that date.
It means that hashbilister, already is judged according to the old rules, and if kørekortfrakendelse is still ongoing, don’t get to benefit from the new law.
For there is nothing in the bill about a transitional arrangement for the persons who are sentenced to unconditional withdrawal of their driving licence before the 31. august 2016.
It will say that the persons who have been given a strict punishment after the old offender, still has lost their driving licence, although under the new rules, perhaps people would only get a suspension of their driver’s license or a milder punishment.
F. eks. will a hashbilist, who drove with two micrograms of THC per. liters of blood and lost his licence for three years from the 1. august last year, still be without a license for two years from the 1. august of this year, while he after the new rules could have contented myself with a clip in the card.
the ministry of Transport corresponds in a comment to a consultation on precisely this issue, that it will become too expensive to make a transition for drivers who are judged according to the old rules. The ministry of justice estimates it will cost 11 million dollars in processing fees for the prosecution and the courts, if not already convictions must stand firm. And it is only the price for the first time, the hashbilister. If you take them with, convicted several times and have banned the card longer than three years, it will cost up to € 30 million.
There is in the bill, that the law shall enter into force after transportministerens of directors. It means that the date of entry into force is unknown, but that possibly can go completely up to a year, because police computer systems should be directed to the new legislation.
And so, it becomes also with a huge backlog of cases, which have not yet been to the courts, since the cases have been in abeyance since the 31. august of last year.
Thus have the drivers that drove hashkørsel as far back as in 2014, still not seen the inside of a courthouse, and the cases come as first in time, when the new law enters into force. It means then they can get deprived of the driving licence up to four years after they committed the offence. To their luck, release the so for an unconditional withdrawal of the licence, however, only if they have been running with less than 9 micrograms of THC per. liters of blood.
