Can taking drugs of abuse seriously impair the abilities needed to drive?

Correct answer

Yes, it can seriously impair them.

Yes. It can impair attention, perception, coordination or decisions; effects depend on the substance and person and are not identical in every case. Do not drive after taking them. The Traffic Act prohibits driving with drugs present in the body, except therapeutically prescribed substances when fit to drive. A prescription does not permit driving when unfit.
