In fact, according to NHTSA, there has been a 32% increase in fatal accidents involving drug use.<\/p>\n<p>As has been previously reported, the testing under these laws was delayed, and apparently,

motorist is suspected of being under the influence of drugs.\u00a0 This might happen when the driver exhibits signs of intoxication, but a roadside breath test shows zero or very low for alcohol, or
