A measure to crack down on drivers under the influence of drugs took a step forward this week. State Senator Bob Huff's measure SB 1462 was passed by the Senate Public Safety Committee and now moves onto votes in both houses of the Legislature. One speaker in support of the bill was Gail Randall, whose 21-year-old son Harrison died after being hit by a drugged driver in Carmichael.

SB 1462 would allow law enforcement to use oral swab roadside tests to detect drugged drivers when there's probable cause to believe a driver has already failed other sobriety tests.
