About this file
This document is an educational resource developed by the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Transportation. It serves as a reference guide for identifying signs and symptoms of drug influence across seven substance categories: CNS depressants, CNS stimulants, hallucinogens, dissociative anesthetics, narcotic analgesics, inhalants, and cannabis. The material presents a comprehensive chart correlating physical indicators—including horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN), vertical gaze nystagmus (VGN), lack of convergence, and pupil size—with specific drug categories. The guide documents observable behavioral and physical manifestations for each substance type, such as slurred speech and drowsiness for CNS depressants, restlessness and body tremors for CNS stimulants, and bloodshot eyes and marijuana odor for cannabis use. The resource includes a pupil size reference scale ranging from 1.0 to 9.0 under varying lighting conditions (direct light, room light, and near total darkness) to assist in standardized assessment.
The guide emphasizes compliance with Michigan Compiled Law 257.625, which prohibits operation of vehicles on highways and publicly accessible areas by any person operating while intoxicated, regardless of licensure status. This material was developed as an educational tool for law enforcement, traffic safety personnel, and other officials responsible for identifying impaired drivers. The document provides detailed symptom lists organized by substance category to facilitate rapid and accurate field assessment of potential drug influence in driving situations. No pricing, contract terms, renewal options, or procurement information is associated with this educational resource.
