Drug-Driving: 91% Don’t Mind Being Tested at the Roadside
This week is National Road Safety Week, and this year’s campaign hopes to highlight the dangers of drug-driving, with its slogan ‘Not a drop. Not a drag.’ Concateno commissioned a YouGov survey on attitudes to drug driving.
91% of respondents would not object to being tested on the roadside for drugs. Roadside tests for alcohol have occurred in Britain for more than 40 years, so support for roadside drug-testing is not unexpected.
7% of 25 to 34 year olds admitted to having driven under the influence of drugs, nearly half as many as the 15% who responded that they had driven after drinking more than the legal limit of alcohol.
