Legal Limit for Drugged Driving

The legal limit for drugged driving refers to the level of drugs in a person's system that is considered unsafe for operating a vehicle. Unlike alcohol, which has specific blood alcohol concentration limits, drug limits can vary by substance and jurisdiction. Law enforcement may assess impairment through field tests or blood tests. If a driver is found to have illegal drugs or levels of certain prescription medications that impair their ability to drive safely, they can be charged with drugged driving, even if their blood levels fall below legal limits for other substances.
