THE NECESSITY OF A DIFFERENTIAL PREVENTION CONCERNING ALCOHOL, ILLEGAL DRUGS AND MEDICATION IN TRAFFIC
Proactive substances represent a major problem in traffic safety. Although the statistics of past years show a continuous increase in drug and medication caused accidents, alcohol still brings about the highest. Comparing the risks arising from psychoactive substances in traffic with the rare amount of existing prevention campaigns in different countries, there is an urgent need for more action. But how should these measures be designed? Should they address the general population of substance drivers or should they focus on the individual substances, such as alcohol, drugs and medication? This paper addresses these questions.
