From the original report (http://www.nhtsa.gov/staticfiles/nti/pdf/812118-Roadside_Survey_2014.pdf):

"At the current time, specific drug concentration levels cannot be reliably equated with a specific degree of driver impairment."

"Alcohol, in comparison, is more predictable. A strong relationship between alcohol concentration and impairment has been established, as has the correlation between alcohol concentration and crash risk."

“”At the current time, specific drug concentration levels cannot be reliably equated with a specific degree of driver impairment.”


Driving on prescription drugs terrifies me.

We had an awful accident in Boston some years ago due to prescription drugs. Two young men burned to death when rear-ended by an impaired driver.
