‘Crack down on drug driving’ is the message from drivers to the UK government, according to data revealed by a recent poll.
Around 70% of drivers say they don’t think enough is being done about this problem, and 71% want to see the government do more to combat drug driving.
People in the 25-34 age group are most likely to drive while on drugs (8% admit to having done it), while drink driving is most likely among 45-54 year-olds (34% admit to having done it).
The ‘drug and drink driving’ poll carried out by Confused.com of 2,000 drivers in the UK also reveals:
