If a person drives after having taken drugs, what consequence will this have for road safety?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The consumption of any narcotic, psychotropic or stimulant substance seriously alters the psychophysical abilities needed to drive safely. It affects the perception of the surroundings, increases reaction time, reduces concentration and distorts the estimation of distances and speeds. Therefore, driving under the influence of drugs is always dangerous, whether they are taken alone or mixed with alcohol. Saying that there is danger only if they are combined with alcohol is incorrect, because drugs are dangerous in themselves. And saying that they give greater agility, confidence and safety is false: although some may produce a false sense of euphoria or security, in practice they cancel out real abilities and greatly increase the risk of having an accident.
