Methamphetamine is one of the most abused drugs in Las Vegas. It can affect the mind quickly even in just low doses. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a dose of 10 to 30mg can lower the reaction time of the drivers.

- Attention Lapse
- Drowsiness
- Higher chance to take risk, aggressive driving, overconfidence in driving skills
- There is a lack of coordination
- Slow reaction time

Drivers under the influence of methamphetamine show behavior such as swerving, maintaining unsafe distances, failing to stop at stop-lights, and driving unsafely.
Studies show that it can take up to 5 days for the meth to leave the body. Its effect will last for several hours.
