Why: Marijuana impairs cognitive and motor functions, leading to slower reaction times rather than faster ones. It also negatively affects focus, vision, and the perception of speed and distance.
Why: Marijuana is the most frequently detected drug after alcohol in drivers involved in crashes. It significantly impairs the judgment and motor skills necessary for safe driving.
Why: At 50 mph, a car needs significant space to stop safely. According to the National Safety Council, this distance is approximately 200 feet under ideal driving conditions.
Why: The Tennessee Driver License Manual recommends using the 'two-second rule' to maintain a safe following distance. This ensures you have enough time to react if the vehicle ahead stops suddenly.
