Australian study reveals common attitudes of drivers toward drugs
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
In Australia, research performed by an insurance company has found that 10 percent of motorists believe recreational drug use does not affect their driving abilities.
A new study suggests 10 per cent of ACT motorists believe using recreational drugs does not affect their driving.
The research by a major insurance company has found 12 per cent of Canberra drivers have admitted taking to the roads after using drugs such as marijuana, cocaine or ecstasy.
Nationally, one in eight Australian drivers under the age of 25 felt that driving while using drugs did not affect their driving.
However, younger drivers were more likely than other drivers leave their car at home if they were planning to drink alcohol.
The research also found that one in six young drivers thought driving after using drugs was safer than driving after drinking.
