A poll of teenage drivers in the U.S. finds that one-third of those who drive under the influence of marijuana believe the drug improves their skills. Four in 10 claim pot has no effect on their driving.
The survey was conducted by insurance provider Mutual Holding Co. and Students Against Destructive Decisions. It says teens appear more aware of the perils of alcohol: Three in five who have driven under the influence report that alcohol impairs their performance.
The poll says one in four teens has driven under the influence of pot, alcohol or illegally obtained prescription drugs. It also says most respondents consider marijuana and alcohol at least slightly detrimental to driving.
Mutual and SAAD suggest parents set good examples and work harder to educate their children about the perils of getting behind the wheel when their senses are impaired.
