According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 12.6 million people in 2018 drove under the influence of drugs. Although it is difficult to determine the role drugged driving plays in car crashes, estimates show that drivers in 44% of fatal car accidents tested positive for at least one drug. The effects of driving while under the influence of drugs may vary because different kinds of drugs can affect the brain differently.
For instance, individuals under the influence of marijuana may experience a slower reaction time, impaired judgment of time and distance, and decreased coordination. Those who are under the influence of cocaine or methamphetamine can experience out-of-character aggressive behaviors or recklessness while driving. Any kind of wreck involving a driver on drugs can result in catastrophic injuries for the other driver.
