Driving under the influence of psychoactive prescription benzodiazepines and alcohol

驾驶使人们能够前往工作和社交活动，因此是生活质量的重要决定因素。驾驶也是一种潜在的危险活动，因为有发生事故的风险。事实上，车祸是造成伤亡的主要原因之一。虽然酒精仍然是导致驾驶表现受损的最常见药物，但其他药物，特别是与酒精结合使用，被认为会增加碰撞风险。

Driving enables people to travel to work and social events, and is thus an important determinant of quality of life. Driving is also a potentially dangerous activity, as there is a risk of becoming involved in accidents. In fact, car accidents are one of the leading causes of injury and death. Whilst alcohol remains the most prevalent drug causing impairment of driving performance, other drugs, especially in combination with alcohol, are thought to increase collision risk.
