How does marijuana affect driving, according to safe-driving guidance?
- A.It has no measurable effect on driving
- B.It improves concentration for short trips
- C.It slows reaction time and impairs judgment, distance perception, and coordination, making driving under its influence illegal and unsafe
- D.It is legal to drive after use because it is not alcohol
Correct answer
C. It slows reaction time and impairs judgment, distance perception, and coordination, making driving under its influence illegal and unsafe
Why
Marijuana impairs the same skills driving requires, including reactions and judgment of speed and distance. Driving high can result in a DUI charge just like driving drunk.
