| | Marijuana use and driving |
 | | The results (Robbe 1994), like many reported before, indicate that none of these measures accurately predicts changes in actual driving performance under the influence of THC. | | | Second, Klonoff's city driving study was replicated, with some modifications with regards to the employed procedures and with the addition of another group of subjects who undertook the same driving test but then under the influence of a low dose of alcohol. | | | Assuming that both sets of results are valid for the particular circumstances under which they were obtained, they demonstrate that performance decrements obtained under the artificial and non-life threatening conditions in the laboratory do not automatically predict similar decrements in driving simulations that are closer to real-world driving. |

| | For example, Kelman (1958) studied the conditions under which people's opinions and attitudes are influenced by the actions of others. | | | For instance, analysis of self-witnessing reports can reveal the factors that influence driving obedience or disobedience to signs and regulations. | | | Such an inventory may be useful for driver assessment and driver education and can provide norms or expectations of driving skills and errors in the affective, cognitive, and sensorimotor areas of behavior. |

| | Driving under the influence, drunk driving, or drink-driving, is the act of operating a motor vehicle (and sometimes a bicycle or similar human-powered vehicle) after having consumed alcohol (ethanol) or other drugs, to the degree that mental and motor skills are impaired. | | | Driving under the influence is a generic term for a series of offences under the Canadian Criminal Code. | | | A third possible charge is driving under the combined influence of alcohol and drugs; this requires no particular blood-alcohol level, but only impairment as the result of the combined effects of alcohol and drugs (which may be legal or illegal). |

| | In driving simulator tests, subjects under the influence of pot typically manifest their impairment by decreasing their driving speed and requiring greater time to respond to emergency situations. | | | However, unlike subjects under the influence of alcohol, these drivers are usually aware of their impairment and compensate for it accordingly, such as by driving more cautiously or by focusing their attention when they know a response will be required. | | | While Stroup agreed that marijuana impaired drivers should be penalized just like those who drive while impaired under the influence of alcohol, he maintained that the government must not use this issue to falsely imply that a significant portion of vehicular accidents are due to drivers operating under the influence of pot. |
