The high risk circumstances under which drugs are used (Table 14) are also
of concern. Although not as common as driving after drinking or riding with a
drinking driver, substantial numbers of Yolo County teens have placed themselves
at risk for death or serious injury as a result of their own or another person's
driving after using drugs.
