Smoking cannabis within three hours of getting behind the wheel could almost double the risk of a serious crash, research suggests.
A review of nine studies found that drivers were more likely to be involved in a collision with another car after smoking the class B drug.
Today's research, published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), found cannabis use resulted in a "near doubling of risk of a driver being involved in a collision resulting in serious injury or death".
