Drug-driving dangers highlighted

A new campaign has been launched to highlight the dangers of drug-driving.

In 2008, almost 1,800 tests were carried out on motorists suspected of being under the influence of drugs, with around three quarters of those proving positive.

Young people are being invited to create a four-minute film on the issue as part of the new 'Keep Drama off the Roads' campaign, which is being led by Setanta Insurance.
