    • Abstract:
      This report reviews what is currently known about the relationship of drug use to highway safety. While much remains to be learned, we have made considerable progress in the last several decades in understanding the effects of drugs on driver behavior. This report: Identifies the information that is needed in order to determine the nature and magnitude of the drug and highway safety problem and reviews the major methodological problems that must be overcome before substantial progress will be possible; Describes the best available information on the incidence of drug usage by drivers involved in crashes (or detained by the police); Summarizes the findings from laboratory research on the behavioral effects from drugs, from studies using driving simulators, and from on-the-road studies; Provides some general conclusions about the role of drugs in highway safety; and Describes the Department of Transportation's current plans to obtain some of the required information. /Abstract from report summary page/
