More than one-third of Canadian high school students admit to riding with a driver who has been drinking alcohol. The study, which involved 24,650 students, also revealed that almost 20% of students said they’ve ridden with someone who’d recently used marijuana. Study author Dr. Leia Minaker notes the findings are concerning because a significant proportion of motor vehicle accident deaths are related to alcohol and drug impairment.
