Last month's infamous car crash into Las Vegas' Egg & I called public attention to the lesser-known DUI crime of "Drugged Driving." The teenaged driver reportedly took Xanax before passing out at the wheel and colliding into the restaurant, which injured ten people. Highway authorities say people grow tolerant to medication, which then causes them to increase the dosage, which in turn leads to drugged driving. The Egg and I reopened today.
Nevada drugged driving laws makes it a crime to drive while impaired by narcotics or controlled substances. People suspected of drugged driving are required to submit to a blood test to determine drug content in his/her blood. Police may use "reasonable force" on suspects who resist taking a blood test.
