Abstract		Increase in illicit drug use in Europe may influence traffic safety. The paper presents epidemiological data that call attention to the extent of the problem, and resumes the Slovene traffic safety legislation and enforcement measures taken by the police when suspecting a subject of drunk or drugged driving. Statistics based on toxicology of driver samples provided by the General Police Office and Institute of Forensic Medicine are presented, as well as the results of research into effects of some illicit drugs on driving ability. Statistics indicate that the number of drug tests and expert examinations ordered for drivers has been constantly growing, which may indicate an upward trend in drugged driving, but, on the other hand, the proportion of positive alcohol tests (29.2%-56.8%) and positive tests for other illicit drugs (19.8%-26.5%) suggests increased sensitivity of Slovene police officers to this issue, and a more consistent endorsement of drug and alcohol testing regulations and enforcement measures.
Summary		Porast uporabe prepovedanih drog v Evropi lahko vpliva tudi na varnost v cestnem prometu. Prispevek prikazuje epidemiološke podatke, ki opozarjajo na razsežnost problema, povzema slovensko zakonodajo o varnosti v cestnem prometu ter ukrepih policistov ob sumu vožnje pod vplivom psihoaktivnih snovi, povzema statistične podatke Generalne policijske uprave in Inštituta za sodno medicino o opravljenih toksikoloških analizah vzorcev voznikov ter dostopno znanje iz raziskav o vplivih posameznih prepovedanih drog na vozniške sposobnosti. Zbrani podatki za Slovenijo kažejo na naraščajoč trend odrejenih preizkusov in strokovnih pregledov, kar bi na eni strani lahko kazalo na dejansko naraščanje pojava vožnje pod vplivom PAS na naših cestah, deleži pozitivnih strokovnih pregledov pa nam na drugi strani (za alkohol v razponu od 29,2% do 56,8%, za druge PAS v razponu od 19,8 % do 26,5%) lahko razkrivajo tudi večja prizadevanja policistov za izvajanje ukrepov in večjo občutljivost za problematiko.
