[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 711487, member: 14557"] People are really bad at evaluating if they are fit to drive. One sleepless night impairs one's driving ability same as 0,1 % BAC. One doesn't actually really notice that. Same goes when one is under influence of drugs. And many of those drugs people use to get intoxicated are, well, drugs. Same drugs that are used to help with all kinds of illnesses and conditions. When people take a pill for their back pain or have taken a benzo a night before to help them sleep, they often do not notice, that they are not fit to drive. Often they feel just fine, but actually are danger to themselves and others. And different substances having so different half-lifes and so on, people have really hard time keeping count when they actually are fit to drive again. It's much easier with alcohol. If you take drugs to get high, to do the same math you would need to know for sure what you took and how much, with street drugs that is not easy. And if you take them just like your doctor ordered, you may not even understand that you are not supposed to drive while you are on them. [/QUOTE]
