• 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.
