I'll put it this way. If a guy arrived to a track day with a bag of weed or alcohol in his cupholder, I absolutely would not run in the same group or session as him. It may not have been proven that he's high or drunk, but certainly the risk is there and moreover there is circumstantial evidence that he is or is intending to be. And that's just with a track day in a controlled setting! The danger is much higher with some random guy deciding he wants to go 160+ on public roads.

We dealing with facts or circumstantial evidence?
He was stunt driving and was caught.
Pot is legal here he just happened to have it in the wrong spot.
The ticket was issued in conjunction the same as any other one would.
Assuming he was impaired is not a fact as you have stated.
There is zero indication he was charged with impaired so if the pot was in his cupholder, glove box or anyplace but the trunk doesn't make him dumber just for having it in the car while speeding.
Doing over twice the limit makes him dumb.
