Cannabis

Cannabis users often think they are safer when they are under the influence because they drive slower. However, this also means that the driver avoids tasks that require effort, like over taking. It also distorts perception of time and distance so other vehicles seem closer than they really are.

The specific effects of driving on cannabis are:

  • Slow driving
  • Avoiding driving tasks that require effort
  • Affects ability to control the car safely
  • Increased reaction and decision times
  • Inaccurate judgement of time and distance
  • Inability to maintain headway
  • Poor control of lateral position
  • Impaired sustained vigilance
