Drug Impaired Driving On The Increase In California

Friends don’t let friends drive… drugged.

While drunk driving has been on the decline, drug-impaired driving has increased over at least the past four years, according to figures released Tuesday by the California Office of Traffic Safety.

Three out of every 10 people killed on California roads in 2010 tested positive for legal and/or illegal drugs, according to the news release. 

Drivers high on prescription drugs, marijuana or other drugs often go under-reported because drug testing is expensive and there is no established legal limit.
