A new Department for Transport campaign was launched today by Transport Secretary Lord Adonis to highlight the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs.
 
The campaign points out that the police are trained to spot drivers after taking illegal substances. Signs of drug use include dilated or constricted pupils.
 
Research by the Department for Transport as part of its THINK! safety scheme found that ten per cent of young motorists admitted to getting behind the wheel after taking drugs.
 
The £2.3 million campaign, which includes online and print advertisements, warns of the potential dangers of driving after taking prescription medicine as well as illegal drugs.
