Nobody that is going to answer this.
There are a lot of people that have been killed doing drugs while driving.
I have seen it on cars and motorcycles too. It is just stupid to drive like that.
It's bad enough to do drugs, but don't risk other peoples lives by driving while high.
This Spring, we had a hydroplane race on the Ohio, some teenager that was high lost control and drove into the crowd killed about 9 people.

In my many yrs in Emergency services I have been to many accidents involving drug use, and I will disclude alcohol in this answer for I believe your question pertains to illegal drugs. I do remember a victim DOA at the scene where he did have a hypodermic needle in his arm. The Medical examiner later determined it was heroine. Smoking pot does effect your reflexes and can be a contributing factor in accident if not the real cause behind it

I'm sure there have been plenty of people on drugs that got into fatal wrecks before.
As for getting high and driving I doubt there have been many if any fatal wrecks. Most stoned drivers end up getting into stupid wrecks like hopping a curb into a pole or just hitting another car going relatively slow. Those are the people that can't handle their sh*t. I usually drive below or at the speed limit when I'm high. I've had a few wrecks while sober, but never while high.

Yes, hundreds of people have been killed in a vehicle accident in nearly every year since 1985, when studies began, caused by smoking weed and/or doing other illegal drugs. This is according to a Government study on vehicular accidents involving fatatlities.

You should not waste your time or other peoples time with such a childish question.There are many of us out there that have lost family and friends due to stupid people on drugs that get in a car and drive.What a waste of life.

Yes, of course. Impaired is impaired, and people cannot drive safely on drugs. People have also been given exactly the same tickets as if they were drinking.

Alcohol is a drug. Approximately half the highway fatalities have alcohol involved. So the answer to your question is yes, drugs that impair your ability to drive have killed people.

Smoking pot will not kill you. It's the impact of your vehicle into a solid object and the secondary impact of your body into your vehicle that kills you.

im not sure, the general drug question yes, but if the cause was actually pot, havent heard to many bout that. Alcohol is still the leading (legal) killer when driving. But yet weed is the bad guy here. this society is so ****** up.
