Drugged Driving - 30% of traffic fatalities


New 2008 Study by CANADIAN CENTRE ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE CANADIAN CENTRE ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE


2008 study shows that while fewer people driving after drinking, more doing so after taking drugs.
There is growing evidence that drug impairment is a major contributor to collisions, such as a 2004 study showed that drugs, often combined with alcohol, were detected in up to 30% of fatally injured drivers. The fact that people are driving after using drugs suggests that they don't think the use of drugs impairs their ability to drive a car or that they don't believe the police can do anything about it.
