Risky Behaviors Of Drivers Who Use Alcohol And Marijuana

LAS VEGAS - May 16, 2024 - PRLog -- Impaired driving, also called driving under the influence, refers to operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or recreational or prescription drugs. Unsurprisingly, DUIs result in thousands of deadly crashes in any given year.

Safe driving depends on several factors, including your ability to follow posted speed limits and road signs, pay attention and respond to what other drivers are doing and not doing anything unexpected by other drivers that could cause a collision.

Those who use alcohol and marijuana before getting behind the wheel are among the most dangerous drivers – they tend to be unpredictable, take risks and drive aggressively, posing a danger to everyone on the road.

What Makes Driving Under The Influence So Dangerous?
Both alcohol and marijuana significantly impair the driver's judgment, motor coordination and reaction times.

Multiple studies show a direct relationship between how much THC (marijuana's primary psychoactive chemical) is in the individual's blood and their inability to safely operate a vehicle. Marijuana is also the illicit drug that is most often found in the blood of drivers involved in fatal accidents. In fact, two large European studies concluded that drivers who had used marijuana were about twice as likely to cause a fatal crash than drivers without impairment.
