Due to nationwide safety campaigns and high - visibility law enforcement patrols, drunk driving has decreased in the U.S. And while this is great news to drivers in Florida as well as the rest
of the country, it is important to point out that there is an
increase in impaired driving involving illegal and legal prescription and over-the-counter drugs across the U.S.. From cold medicine to
marijuana, driving
under the
influence of drugs is very dangerous and places all roadway users in danger
of serious injury or death.
If you are pulled over for traffic infractions (such as speeding or broken tail light), you can expect an
increased interest by the police in determining whether or not you are «
under the
influence»
of marijuana.
