Abstract

Results of this experiment show that alcohol alone and in combination with other drugs affects driving performance in different ways. Measures which most clearly differentiated between drug conditions were steering movement and average velocity. Further research in this area will be needed before the manner in which driving behaviour is affected by a drug can be related to the physiological action of that drug. (See also B 6331).
