The firm has noticed that drugged driving cases are on the rise, and they are hoping that the new report will help to reduce preventable crashes happening on the road.

According to recent data published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, one in six college students have driven under the influence of a drug other than alcohol.

Marijuana is the most common drug used, but others include cocaine, as well as prescription pain relievers. In some states, there has been a dramatic rise in marijuana related accidents and it’s clear that there’s not enough education on the dangers of drugged driving out there for drivers or their families.

Fisher Stark states: “Like drunk driving, drugged driving is a DWI offense. Driving while intoxicated (DWI), isn’t as widely understood as alcohol, but it is similarly unsafe. It poses a serious danger to the intoxicated driver, passengers, others on the road, and bystanders.”

Drugs negatively affect a driver in a number of ways, including reducing their attention span, limiting physical function and motor skills, affecting cognitive ability, slowing reaction time, and impacting coordination.

The report also covers how to prevent drugged driving, with a focus on encouraging social strategies to keep people from getting in the driver’s seat while impaired. If someone utilizes drugs, even certain prescription drugs, it’s important to designate a sober driver, or else take a taxi to err on the side of caution.
