Abstract:
Following two decades of progress dealing with alcoholimpaired

driving, greater attention is now being

directed toward the issue of driving while impaired by

drugs. Currently, there is far less information related to drug-impaired

driving than alcohol-impaired driving. This report

describes a study on the extent of drug use by drivers.

A random survey of drivers was conducted at pre-selected

locations in British Columbia from Wednesday to Saturday

nights in June 2008. The purpose was to collect information

on the prevalence of alcohol and drug use among nighttime

drivers. Those surveyed were asked to provide a voluntary

breath sample to measure their alcohol use and an oral fluid

sample to be tested subsequently for the presence of drugs.

Of the 1,533 vehicles selected, 89% of drivers provided a

breath sample and 78% provided a sample of oral fluid.
