What is the immediate consequence for road safety when driving under the influence of drugs?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Drug consumption severely alters the psychophysical abilities essential for driving (perception, attention, reaction time, and coordination). As these faculties deteriorate, the driver becomes an active danger not only to their own physical integrity but to the safety of all road users (pedestrians, passengers, and other drivers). Claiming that they only risk their own life is incorrect, as an accident is rarely an isolated event without collateral victims or damage. Likewise, it is false that they take fewer risks; on the contrary, many substances cause a false sense of security and euphoria that increases the taking of unnecessary risks.
