The personal consequences of driving after drinking or taking drugs is the focus of a new campaign from the Safer Roads Partnership in West Mercia. The campaign aims to raise awareness of the far reaching consequences of drink and drug driving for those aged between 17 and 24.
Young people are over represented in collision statistics in the West Mercia region which includes Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin. Figures from the Safer Roads Partnership indicate that young drivers are involved in 42% of collisions that have alcohol or drugs as a contributory factor.
The campaign is designed to reach out to young drivers to raise awareness of what could happen to them if they make the decision to drive after drinking or taking drugs.
