i havent heard many people say that drinking makes them drive better but i have heard people say pot helps them drive better.

Because there are no hard facts correlating driving to intoxication from marijuana its obviously hard to tell..

But what i do know from personal experience is pot helps you concentrate better on one task.. the key word being ONE task.. Your average driving doesnt require you to concentrate on too many things so driving while stoned may seem easier. the problems happen when there is more than one thing to concentrate on, then your better off not being stoned.. so in general its prob not a great idea to smoke pot or drink.. but one should not overlook other legal drugs like chocolate and coffee.

During the 80's i was a partcipant in prob the only test that comes close to answering this question. The test was about reaction time and driving while under the influence of marijuana. I didnt get to see the final results but the people in our test group did better with pot than without, but like i said a simulation and the real thing is totally different.
