We sometimes hear people saying that cannabis makes you a more cautious driver, and that a reduction in speed is all that's needed to counteract cannabis impairment.
The truth is your reaction time has possibly slowed down even more than your driving speed, and your attempts to compensate for your impairment probably won’t be enough to keep you safe.
The only solution is to crash out instead, or to #DriveDrugFree

Your reaction time slows when you're high, so you’re likely to perform badly when the unexpected happens on the road. #TrueFactsTuesday

Heaps of studies show us your risk of crashing increases if you’re stoned. Call a cab, catch a bus. Just don’t drive. #TrueFactsTuesday
Car crashes happen very suddenly and unexpectedly. A slowed reaction time means you are much less likely to see a crash coming in time to avoid it. So you're definitely better to #DriveDrugFree
