交通ルール
アイルランド
228. 薬物
薬物は、知覚、集中力、反応時間、協調運動、判断を変化させ、運転へ重大な影響を与えることがあります。覚醒剤、大麻、オピオイドなどの精神作用物質はそれぞれ異なる方法で運転能力を損ない、アルコールなどとの併用でリスクがさらに高まります。酔った感覚がなくなっても影響が残る場合があります。薬物運転法は国によって異なりますが、物質が安全な車両制御へ影響している場合は運転してはいけません。
How can drugs affect driving?
Drugs can impair concentration, perception, reaction time, coordination and judgement. The effects depend on the substance, dose, individual and whether other substances are also present.
Can cannabis affect driving?
Yes. Cannabis can affect attention, reaction time, coordination and perception, which can make driving unsafe.
Can stimulant drugs affect driving?
Yes. Stimulants can cause overconfidence, agitation, impulsive behaviour and reduced judgement, while their effects may later be followed by fatigue or reduced concentration.
Can drugs still affect you after the main effects have worn off?
Yes. Some substances can continue to affect alertness, coordination or judgement after the strongest effects appear to have passed.
Is combining drugs and alcohol especially dangerous?
Yes. Combining substances can produce stronger or unpredictable impairment and significantly increase the risk of a crash.
How can police test drivers for drugs?
Depending on the country, police may use behavioural observations, saliva tests, saliva analyses or blood tests to detect specified substances.
Are drug-driving laws the same in every country?
No. Some countries prohibit driving above specified drug concentrations, while others focus on impairment or the presence of certain substances. Testing procedures and penalties also vary.
