Drug drive prosecutions reach all-time high

The number of people charged with drug driving offences increased by 144% last year from 691 in 2014 to 1686.

This increase was expected with the new side of the road ‘drugalyser’ being implemented in March 2015, but some of the increase is being put down to unawareness.

Peoples assumption when you talk about any offence is that it must be something illegal. They don’t realise that driving under the influence of drugs that have been legally prescribed can be just as risky and there are limits set on some of those drugs. Motorists are being urged to read the label of any and all medication to make sure they are safe to drive.
