Table 2. Summary of results.

Figure 2. Non-inferiority analyses of swerving behavior (SDLP, cm), SD speed (km/h), time headway (THW, s), and reaction time (RTTL, s) of anxiolytics users. Bars show differences (medication user – matched control), with the 95% confidence interval. The dashed orange line represents the reference value that was found at 0.5‰ alcohol in a repeated measures study (Van Dijken et al. Citation2020).
