Marijuana, alcohol and actual driving performance.
The objective of the current study was to assess the separate and combined effects of marijuana and alcohol on actual driving performance. Eighteen subjects were treated with drugs and placebo according to a balanced, 6-way, crossover design. On separate evenings they were given weight calibrated Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) doses of 0, 100 and 200 &mgr;g/kg with and without an alcohol d...
متن کاملDriving Performance Under Alcohol in Simulated Representative Driving Tasks
Comparing drug-induced driving impairments with the effects of benchmark blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) is an approved approach to determine the clinical relevance of findings for traffic safety. The present study aimed to collect alcohol calibration data to validate findings of clinical trials that were derived from a representative test course in a dynamic driving simulator. The driving ...
متن کاملEffects of two antihistamine drugs on actual driving performance.
A double blind placebo controlled experiment was conducted measuring the effects of the centrally active antihistamine triprolidine and the peripherally acting antihistamine terfenadine on actual driving performance in a group of experienced women drivers. Triprolidine greatly impaired driving behaviour, whereas terfenadine did not. Triprolidine also impaired subjective and objective measures o...
متن کاملBreath-Alcohol Simulators: Scientific Basis and Actual Performance
Commercial breath-alcohol simulators were studied to determine their suitability as calibrating devices and for providing control spocimens in breath-alcohol analysis. The best-fit exponential equation for the air/water partition of ethanol was found to by y = 0.0145e 0.06583x, where x = temperature ~ and y = Ka/wxl03. Temperature, volume, pressure, and alcohol depletion of simulators and their...
متن کاملNATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL Alcohol, Drugs, and Impairment Division Position on Cannabis (Marijuana) and Driving
Driving under the influence of cannabis is an important public safety concern. Drug impaired driving endangers those both inside and outside the driver’s vehicle. Smoking, inhaling or eating cannabis with or without alcohol prior to driving is a common practice and increases the risks of driver impairment, motor vehicle crashes and fatalities. There are also new techniques for administering hig...
