Nashville Automobile Accident Attorney Comments On Dope Addled Driver
Drug Impaired Driving
As an experienced Nashville automobile accident attorney I can tell you that if you smoke some crack, ingest some morphine and get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle with no driver’s license, no registration, no insurance and you run from a police traffic stop, things aren’t going to go well for you. Top it off with you running over and killing your passenger who tries to bail out during the chase and the result will be prison time. In the case of a Bristol Tennessee woman the prison time amounted to 9 years. What a downer.
Just about everyone has heard, “Don’t Drink and Drive” and “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk, but there are many dangers associated with getting behind the wheel of a car (or bus, train, or plane) while high on crack and morphine and we hardly ever hear someone say friends don’t let friends drive on crack and morphine. I mean, who has to be told that crack and morphine don’t go well with driving?
Crack and Morphine use impair one’s ability to reason and make decisions, and slows reaction time. In addition, motor skills and visual tracking ability are diminished. Another reason why driving would not be safe while high is that users usually feel a bit tired, and have difficulty concentrating. Sometimes people experience anxiety and/or visual, perception, and time distortions, none of which would help with navigating a vehicle on a road.
