Drug driving can be costly and puts lives at risk.

Drugged-up drivers are responsible for hundreds of crashes across the UK every year, and they can be as much of a risk to other road users as drink drivers – sometimes even more so.

In spite of the risk, many irresponsible drug users in Bucks have got behind the wheel and put themselves and others in danger.
