DUI Drugs (VC 23152(f))
Driving under the influence of illegal, prescription, or over-the-counter drugs.
Understanding DUI Drugs (VC 23152(f))
Under California Vehicle Code 23152(f), it is unlawful for a person who is under the influence of any drug to drive a vehicle. This applies to illegal narcotics, prescription medications, and even over-the-counter drugs if they impair your ability to drive safely. Unlike alcohol, there is no specific "legal limit" for drugs in California; the standard is whether the drug impaired your driving abilities. Having a valid prescription for the medication is not a legal defense to a DUI Drugs charge.
