Abstract Fifty drunken drivers and 50 drivers with high blood drug concentrations arrested during the first four months of 1983 were selected for a study of rearrests for driving under influence of alcohol or drugs. Of the drugged drivers selected, 32 had been driving with high blood concentrations of diazepam (>1.0 μM). 50% of these drivers were rearrested during the subsequent three years. The rearrest rate was low (6%) among those who had been driving with high blood concentrations of amphetamine (>2.0 μM) or THC (>0.010 μM). Among the drunken drivers arrested (BAC >0.05%), the rearrest rate was 20%. The drivers were mostly rearrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.
