How do opiates affect driving?
I’m putting together a presentation on how opiates affect driving. Just wondering how being under the influence changes how people drive.

That’s great that you’re researching this! Opiates, whether legally prescribed or taken illegally, can lead to dizziness, mood changes, and slower reaction times. Similar to
drinking and driving
, being under the influence of drugs drastically increases a driver’s chance of causing an accident.Here are some additional impacts that opiates have:
- Lethargy or sedation
- Reduced attention span
- Reduced short-term memory
- Poor coordination
- Blurred vision
To protect your car against accidents and having to pay for damage, try upgrading your coverage with
Jerry
. A licensed broker, the Jerry app can help you find great rates on the coverage you need from over 50 national providers. All the best with your presentation!
