Not a double blind trial.
Pot notoriously screws with driving.
But if anything, it just makes a driver more paranoid about the police.

True, but that's if you're actually high. If you smoke the day before, you'll have it in your system, but are you actually impaired at the moment? It's like, yeah, I had a few beers over the weekend, but I'm not driving drunk on Tuesday unless I have beer that day.

My point is what poor science is being financed by the government, to come up with such dubious analyses.
The only way to tell if someone is high when driving is film them smoking ahead of time, and test the ashes and leftover cigarette after words.
They might just be imagining that they are high.

Good point. I've seen some videos and seen the testing they do now. It's a bunch of bs questions and just about every example leads to "you're high because I think I smell weed." Even been some lawsuits where people have been falsely charged with driving under the influence. How do you fight that?

The best test for how high someone is , , is to compare their response on a executive task, versus a baseline.
Examples of an executive task :
Balancing a check book
Completing an application for auto insurance
Re wiring an electrical panel.
Just a thought.
