Why: Marijuana impairs your ability to drive safely by slowing down your physical and mental responses. It does not result in a faster reaction time; instead, it significantly delays your ability to react to hazards.
Why: Marijuana is the second most common drug, after alcohol, found in drivers involved in fatal crashes. Driving under the influence of any drug, including marijuana, impairs judgment, reaction time, and coordination, making it extremely dangerous.
Why: You can lose your driver's license through various administrative actions, including suspension, revocation, and cancellation. These actions are typically taken by the DMV or courts due to traffic violations, unsafe driving, or other legal issues.
Why: Your driver's license will be suspended if you are involved in 3 or more accidents within a 12-month period. This rule is designed to remove high-risk drivers from the road to ensure public safety.
Why: Keeping your driver's license in your wallet is legal and recommended. In fact, the Iowa Driver's Manual states you should always have it with you while driving.
