N2  - The increasing contribution of psychoactive drugs, alone and in combination with alcohol, to the causation of traffic accidents is discussed. Therapeutic use of prescribed psychotrophics, abuse of prescribed psychotrophics, and the abuse of illegal narcotics and hallucinogens, including cannabis, are related to impairment of driving skills. Qualitative and quantitative estimation of drugs identify the drug or drug-alcohol affected driver. Evidence used to prosecute the driver is described. The paper is illustrated by results of drug estimations obtained under Queensland traffic legislation over a period of seven years.
