Driving under the Influence of Non-Alcohol Drugs.
Driving under the influence of non-alcohol drugs is a major issue, with benzodiazepines, opioids, and illicit drugs being the main contributors, and new detection methods like saliva tests show promise.

Testing for benzodiazepine inebriation—relationship between benzodiazepine concentration and simple clinical tests for impairment in a sample of drugged drivers
Simple clinical tests, such as Romberg's test and Romberg's observation, can effectively reveal benzodiazepine impairment in drivers, with potential applications in other contexts.

Association between blood carisoprodol:meprobamate concentration ratios and CYP2C19 genotype in carisoprodol-drugged drivers: decreased metabolic capacity in heterozygous CYP2C19*1/CYP2C19*2 subjects?
High carisoprodol : meprobamate ratios in drugged drivers are linked to the presence of mutant CYP2C19 alleles, suggesting a gene dosage effect.
