New Campaign Targets Drug Driving in South Australia If you're a male aged between 20 and 40 in South Australia, you're in the spotlight of a new roadside drug testing campaign by South Australia Police. Our latest article explores the impact of this campaign and why it's crucial for everyone to understand the risks of drug driving. With a key message of "Reality Hits Hard When You Drive on Drugs," the campaign aims to raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs. And how drugs like cannabis and methamphetamine not only impair your ability to drive safely but also significantly increase your risk of causing serious accidents. Between 2018 and 2022, drug-impaired drivers accounted for 14% of all lives lost on South Australian roads. With National Road Safety Week underway (5-12 May), it's a timely reminder to reflect on the lives lost on our roads and the importance of safe driving practices. Let's do our part to make our roads safer for everyone. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gbPXds5J #RoadSafety #DrugDriving #NationalRoadSafetyWeek

A positive hair drug test is another obvious example of an employer’s actual knowledge. But FMCSA says ‘no.’ Why? #DrugTesting #RoadSafety #SaferRoadsForAll #Trucking #HairTesting

It’s a strategic move that pays off in the long run.
