Any controlled substance, including illegal narcotics as well as prescription drugs, may influence a person’s ability to operate a motor vehicle. Depending upon the particular case, a driver may face DUI charges for operating a motor vehicle with any trace of certain illegal drugs in his or her system, or for driving while his or her mental/physical abilities are impaired due to any drug (including prescription and over-the-counter drugs).
