“…An opposite bias can result from residual confounding due to selection into cannabis use and selection of users into ‘driving after use’. In particular, deciding to drive while intoxicated is a decision correlated with traits that predict higher crash risk independently of cannabis use: high speeds, close following, dangerous lane shifts and drunk driving . This would give estimates an upward bias, in that ‘driving after cannabis use’ functions as an indicator of an underlying high‐risk type of driver.…”

“…It is associated statistically with being a young adult, male and holding ‘high‐risk’ attitudes towards driving and traffic as reflected in, e.g. higher rates of driving under the influence of alcohol . For this reason, the adjusted estimates of risk and their associated standard errors were always employed when available.…”

“…It was observed that driving under the influence of drugs was associated with a risky driving style, leading to accidents. 6,7 Self-control is considered to be reduced with the use of narcotics, and the possibility of forming crime-related behaviors increases. Moreover, the problems related to the loss of self-control cause crimes that are related to angry vehicle driving and car races.…”

arcotic drugs have a medical use, although the incidence of driving under the influence of drugs, which are often abused, has increased in recent years. Various studies have been conducted on this subject, which has increasingly been put on the agenda of countries. The substances Driving Under the Influence of Drugs A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : Driving performance can easily be deteriorated as a result of drug use. Many observational studies show an increase in the presence of drugs detected in biological samples among drivers. This is an alarming situation, and the likelihood of drug users being exposed to a fatal accident,-especially after multiple drug use-is higher than that of non-users. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : In our study, cases with requested reports regarding "the effect of drug on safe driving" between 2012 and June 2018, from the 5 th Specialized Board of The Council of Forensic Medicine were examined in means of distribution by year, sender judicial authorities, regional distribution, biological samples used during evaluation, the types of drugs and their frequency of detection, the rates of verification analysis performed and the report results of the board. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : It has been determined that cases regarding driving under the influence of narcotic drugs have increased over years. The identified drugs in order of frequency are cannabis, amphetamine, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), synthetic cannabinoids, benzodiazepines and opioids. Multiple drug use was detected in 38 out of 88 cases. In 56% of the cases, it was evaluated that the person could not handle and manage the vehicle safely. In 29% of the cases positive for screening test, there was no opinion presented since confirmation analysis in blood was not performed. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : The number of drug users has been increasing over years, and risk assessment and prevention of drug-related vehicle use are becoming increasingly important. K Ke ey yw wo or rd ds s: : Driving under the influence of drug (DUI); biological sample; confirmation analysis; forensic toxicology Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Uyuşturucu madde kullanımının bir sonucu olarak sürüş performansı kolayca bozulmaktadır. Birçok gözlemsel çalışma, sürücüler arasında biyolojik örneklerde tespit edilen uyuşturucu varlığının artmakta olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu endişe verici bir durum olup uyuşturucu kullanan sürücülerin ölümcül bir kazaya maruz kalma olasılığı, özellikle çoklu uyuşturucu kullanımından sonra, kullanıcı olmayanlardan daha yüksektir.

“…In a driving simulation study with Canadian youth ages 18 to 25, frequency of marijuana use while driving was related to higher speeds reached and more reckless driving (27). The high numbers of youth in the current study who report being in a car driven by a marijuana-or alcohol-using driver in the last 30 days is of concern given motor vehicle crashes are among the most frequent killers of youth and both marijuana and alcohol substantially increase crash risk (2,3).…”

Background: A better understanding of the relations between patterns of marijuana use and driving risks in young adulthood is needed. Methods: Secondary analyses of self-report data from the Victoria Healthy Youth Survey. Youth (baseline ages 12 to 18; N=662; 52% females) were interviewed biannually (on six occasions) from 2003 to 2013 and classified as abstainers (i.e., used no marijuana in past 12 months), occasional users (i.e., used at most once per week), and frequent users (i.e., used more than once a week). Results: In the frequent user group, 80% of males and 75% of females reported 'being in a car driven by driver (including themselves) using marijuana or other drugs in the last 30 days', 64% of males and 33% of females reported that they were 'intoxicated' with marijuana while operating a vehicle and 50% of males and 42% of females reported being in a car driven by a driver using alcohol. In addition, 28% of occasional users and also a small proportion of abstainers reported 'being in a car driven by a driver using marijuana or other drugs in the last 30 days' . Interpretation: The high frequency of driving risk behaviours, particularly for frequent users, suggest that plans for legalization of recreational use should anticipate the costs of preventive education efforts that present an accurate picture of potential risks for driving. Youth also need to understand risks for dependence, and screening for and treatment of marijuana use disorders is needed.
