%X This paper begins with comments on the current state of our knowledge on drugged driver legislation. Per se and impairment laws and the pros and cons of different legal approaches are then addressed, with an overview of driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) legislation in Europe and the United States. The paper presents seven recommendations for further research. The paper concludes that, globally, there is a lack of uniformity in the way in which nations approach the drugged driver problem, and that efforts to support standardization or harmonization of laws through the development of "model" legislation should be encouraged.<p />
