Abstract

Nine expert drivers operated an instrumented vehicle in tests over a highway at night after being treated with diazepam (5 of 10 milligrams), a placebo, and nothing. They reacted to 10 milligrams of diazepam with increased lateral position variability. Potentially dangerous impairment was inferred from the reactions of some subjects.
