NEWSDECK ANALYSIS

The number of drug-driving endorsements has been increasing steadily, reflecting a shift in policing priorities and public awareness of the issue. As a result, the UK's roads are now seeing a significant proportion of driving offences related to drug use, posing a new challenge for authorities seeking to reduce accidents and improve safety.
