Kenya traffic act 44 and 45 only talks about drunk driving which is alcoholic content in the blood, being intoxicated is a different thing under traffic act.I still stand to be corrected.
Honestly sijui, but I'd say that if a traffic cop stopped you and noticed that you're under the influence of something, iko kesi hapo.

As long as you're a danger on the road, they'll find a way to prosecute you because you're endangering the lives of other road (and in this case, shop) users.

There's a judge who made a landmark ruling that DUI isn't an offense. It only becomes one when one is unable to be in control of the vehicle.
Many now cite that precedent but huyu hapa definitely was in no way in control of the situation. Poor sod probably pressed on the accelerator hard confusing it for brakes. Thank goodness, no one was hurt.

The law is backed on evidence that should be emperically tested, what you're saying is an allegation and how do you prove the allegation ,intoxicated is very vague and drunkardness you have to undergo a blood test or alchoblow test .
