Description:
Nine expert drivers operated an instrumented vehicle in tests over a highway at night after being treated with diazepam (5 and 10 milligrams), a placebo, and nothing. They reacted to 10 milligrams of diazepam with increased lateral position variability. Potentially dangerous impairment was inferred from the reactions of some subjects.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉O'Hanlon, J F -- Haak, T W -- Blaauw, G J -- Riemersma, J B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Jul 2;217(4554):79-81.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7089544" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
