Government-hired survey teams will soon ask hundreds of Washington state motorists to answer questions and provide samples of breath, saliva and blood all to give safety and police agencies a clearer sense of how many people drive impaired.
The roadside surveys are voluntary, and participants will be paid up to $60, under the federally funded project this summer. National officials are collaborating with the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, which is hurrying to gather data before retail marijuana gains a foothold. That way, officials have a baseline from which to measure any safety effects of legalization, said commission spokeswoman Jonna VanDyk.
The roadside surveys began Friday and will continue over the weekend in Spokane and Yakima counties, followed by Kitsap and Whatcom counties later this month, and probably King and Snohomish counties, she said.
The study contractors plan to survey 150 drivers in five locations per county, for a total 4,500 participants.

Declining to participate will be construed as probable cause.

Fed funded BS and voluntary, note that Washington State does not allow those DUI gestapo roadblocks that many states use.

Sure appears to be a worthless survey if the people “volunteer”. Only sober people will “volunteer” both now and after they legally sell dope there. How many dopers and drunks will say yes? The result will show no change in driving impaired? DUH! Great way for the dope pusher politicians to justify doping up more of the population.

We are 17 trillion in the hole and this sort of political waste is still going on. Check to see who is making the profit here. You get three guesses and the first two don't count.
