abstract="In 1998, 2779 drivers were interviewed at discotheques in Bavaria. Of these, 503 people were picked out and their ability to drive was tested with the help of a driving simulator. Comprehensive interviews were also conducted with them, and in medical examinations samples of blood, urine und saliva were taken. In people who had only taken cannabis, there was little evidence of any impairment in their ability to drive, which was probably due to the, overall, low THC concentration. In the case of amphetamines and combinations of any two of cannabis, amphetamines or alcohol, performance tests on the simulator showed up evidence of adverse effects. These were less clearly identifiable, however, under medical examination. Drug use can be recognised with relative certainty by looking for certain behavioural characteristics, as long as the person concerned has not consumed any alcohol. On the other hand, objective performance tests are more useful if both drugs and alcohol have been consumed. The ideal solution would bei a combination of both methods.
