Driving under the Influence of Drugs, Alcohol and Medicines

The principle aim of DRUID (the integrated program, Driving under the Influence of Drugs, Alcohol and Medicines) is to achieve knowledge about the different factors that influence driving under the influence (DUI) of psychoactive substances in order to combat DUI. Within this main objective several tasks are embedded in order to address different aspects of the problem such as, collecting data about prevalence and accident risks of different substances in traffic (epidemiological approach); conducting reference studies in driving simulators in order to determine the impact of substances which are not sufficiently examined yet (experimental approach); testing and development of a “good practice” standard for detection and training measures for road traffic police allowing a legal monitoring of drivers (enforcement); development of an appropriate classification system of medicines affecting driving ability (classification); and evaluating the efficiency of strategies of prevention, penalization and rehabilitation.
