Legalizing pot will only moderately increase use, and I expect even that mainly during an initial period when former users take it up again as a novelty. There won't be a dramatic increase in people smoking pot, or driving stoned.

So it's a pretty big jump in users but given the absolute numbers shouldn't increase the risks of people driving stoned significantly.
