The role of illicit, licit, and designer drugs in the traffic in Hungary

Driving under the influence of illicit and licit drugs (DUID) has been punishable in Hungary since July 1999. According to data from Country Police Headquarters approximately 10-15,000 alcohol impairment cases per year were taken to court between 2000 and 2010 (personal communication) but drug impairment was proven in less than 120 cases per year [1]. The real number of DUID cases, however, is probably much higher. A roadside survey demonstrating a higher incidence of DUID was conducted (DRUID EU-6 project) in Csongrád County (South-East Hungary,∼420 000 inhabitants), during which oral fluid samples of 2738 randomly stopped car drivers were analyzed for illicit and licit drugs in 2008-2009.
