Скачать или смотреть Don't Put Drugs in the Driving Seat - Cocaine

The Isle of Wight Council is proud to be supporting the Department for Transport THINK! campaign that highlights the impact drug driving can have on your night, your life and your future, as well as the risk of injuring yourself or others.

Between 2014 and 2023, there was a 70% increase in deceased drivers where drugs were present. Young men are overrepresented, with around 90% of drivers impaired by drugs in collisions being male, and 4 in every 10 aged between 17 and 29.*

Overconfidence and a tendency to underestimate the risks are widespread, with 32% of young men believing it is OK to drive after taking drugs if they ‘feel fine’, while 46% report knowing someone who drives after using drugs.

To tackle this growing issue, THINK! are launching an impactful new campaign. ‘Don’t Put Drugs in the Driving Seat’ reminds young drivers of the risks and the spiral of consequences they can face if they choose to drug drive.
