Few things are going to impact your entitlement to 100% compensation following a road accident as proof you were intoxicated at the time of the crash. Recording a high blood-alcohol level is likely to leave any person clutching at straws in efforts to deny liability.
The fact that any drunk person's account will immediately be compromised by doubts about the accuracy of his or her recall makes it very difficult to view the person's testimony in a credible light.
The same goes for other forms of intoxication. Proof an injured driver has consumed hard drugs such as cocaine or ecstasy in the time leading up to the crash, will very likely discredit much of the person's evidence, even in cases where there might be strong evidence to suggest the other driver involved should be considered liable.
Cannabis consumption too, while probably not as dangerous to driving as the consumption of alcohol and other drugs, is likely to jeopardise a claimant's chances of receiving 100% compensation.
Although "dope driving" has consistently been shown to have no or negligible negative effect on a person's driving, it is still likely to be frowned upon by police, courts and insurers. The fact that the authors of most studies into dope driving echo the beliefs of researchers at Adelaide University, "It has been impossible to prove marijuana affects driving adversely. There is no doubt marijuana affects performance but it may be it affects it in a favourable way by reducing risk-taking", will receive little sympathy from the people who matter in deciding the outcome of a road accident compensation claim.
Where there is an element of risk, having the free functioning of unimpaired faculties should be a driver's priority and no matter how much a person might think they are free of any side affects, all it takes is one slip for an accident to result.
