title: Methamphetamine and driving.
abstract: Methamphetamine incidence in driving under the influence cases in the City and County of San Francisco is a significant and on-going challenge. Two methamphetamine positive driving cases are presented herein demonstrating some similarities in observed signs and symptoms and drug blood concentrations but which are also characterized by very different driving styles and behaviours towards the police officers when encountered on the road.
