An investigation is described which followed suspected drugged drivers arrested in 1992 to study rearrest rates and compare these figures with those for drunken drivers selected from the same year. The results showed that 54% of drugged drivers reappeared in the data system twice or more times during the 3 year period studied due to driving under the influence of drugs, drugs combined with alcohol or alcohol alone. The results suggested that in Norway recidivism was higher among drugged drivers than among drunken drivers.
