This document discusses drugged driving and the unique legal issues it presents. It notes that 1 in 8 weekend, nighttime drivers test positive for illicit drugs and 33% of fatally injured drivers tested positive for drugs in 2009. Marijuana, cocaine, and prescription drugs are commonly found. Studies show drugs like marijuana negatively impact driving ability. Per se drugged driving laws are complicated by the lack of impairment thresholds like the .08 BAC standard for alcohol. Prosecutors may need drug recognition experts as witnesses. Initial stops, admissibility of tests, the right to confrontation, and jury attitudes also present unique issues in drugged driving cases compared to DWI.
