Abstract

In 1999, Belgium introduced a law on driving under the influence of certain illegal drugs. This law was based on the scientific knowledge about the effects of illegal substances on fitness to drive. The scientific knowledge about driving under the influence of psychoactive substances has considerably increased since this law of 16 March 1999 came into force. Neither the legislation nor its application has been evaluated and adapted to these new insights. Therefore, the Belgian Science Policy has taken the initiative to support a survey intended to draw up recommendations for a more efficient enforcement policy. (Author/publisher)
