Houston Driving While Intoxicated By Drugs (DWID) Lawyers
The consideration of DUI or DWI cases often leads an individual to think about the way that the consumption of alcohol affects a person’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. The reality is that prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and illicit drugs can also significantly impair a driver’s capacities. This sometimes has frightening consequences for an individual who is simply following doctor’s orders, as he or she is suddenly caught in the disorienting swirl of police lights.

How Drugs May Impair Your Driving
Pharmaceutical products rely upon the properties of potent chemical combinations to resolve or at least lessen the severity of a person’s symptoms of injury or illness. Illegal drugs work in much the same way, which can create some confusion and suspicion at the scene of traffic stop where a motorist appears to be coping with what are perceived to be normal effects of a high. The following are some side effects that might be caused by perfectly legal medications:
- Drowsiness
- Hyperactivity
- Slurred speech
- Frequent eye movement
- Inability to concentrate or follow directions
