Marijuana appears to have less adverse impact on driving ability than does alcohol, according to findings from a recent study by the U.K.'s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL). The results replicate earlier findings recorded in the U.S., Australia and elsewhere indicating that marijuana intoxication plays a relatively insignificant role in vehicular accidents. Their conclusions of the study indicated that people under the influence of marijuana, unlike alcohol, were aware of there impaired state, therefore operated their vehicles more defensivly and with heightened awareness to their surroundings.
