Abstract

There are groups in the community who claim that road safety can be improved if patients who receive benzodiazepine tranquilizers are prevented from driving a car. These groups disregard the fact that there exists no study to show that these drugs are a causal factor in crashes. This paper -will mainly review the effect of diazepam which is one of the older compounds.
