Abstract: 

Research conducted in the United States shows that 33% of fatally injured drivers with known drug test results tested positive for drugs other than alcohol. Among randomly stopped weekend nighttime drivers who provided specimens in 2007, 16.3% tested positive for drugs. Drugged driving is clearly a problem, but the U.S. has lagged behind other nations in research and enforcement.
