The dangers of drug driving

1. Individuals

After taking drugs, people who take synthetic drugs may experience symptoms such as extreme mental excitement and even delusions and hallucinations. As a result, the driver is disconnected from the real scene, has poor judgment or even completely loses judgment. The number of traffic accidents caused by driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs continues to increase, especially vicious traffic accidents that cause multiple casualties.

Studies show that drivers’ reaction times are 9% slower when driving under the influence of drugs than when driving under the influence of alcohol. Drunk driving is 12% slower than normal reaction time, and "drug driving" is 21% slower than normal reaction time. People who take drugs often have hallucinations and their driving ability is seriously weakened, laying hidden dangers for the occurrence of vicious traffic accidents. Drug driving is suspected of The crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means endangers people's safety.

2. Society

Chen Guiyong is a general manager of a subsidiary of the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has a precious folder in which he has stored information for many years. The relevant information collected since then on motor vehicle drivers driving under the influence of drugs includes media reports, scientific research data, and a large number of shocking pictures. The media reports section only lists the topics of the report, but even so, it fills 8 pages of A4 paper with size 5 fonts. The earliest one is the report in July 2003, "The Changle tricycle driver became a "fast driver" after taking drugs and drove all the way to the border guard station and was captured." The last one is from August 2010, "Dandong, Liaoning: Drug-drug man crashes into car Car, mother and police took turns to persuade him to surrender." On July 26, 2010, Yin's brother's "drug driving" caused 21 vehicles to be scratched on the South Fourth Ring Road in Beijing. Truck drivers also use drugs to "refresh themselves". Judging from the case of "drug driving", drug-impaired drivers ignore the safety of road users and passers-by, which causes far more serious harm to society than drunk driving. This must attract our attention.
