Driving whilst impaired - PACTS Conference
Despite the progress made in reducing drink-driving, around 14% of road deaths involve a driver over the legal limit. The scale of driving while under the influence of illegal drugs is also likely to be greater than currently known. This conference will bring together a range of speakers to identify the ways forward to reduce these deaths further. Join PACTS for a lively debate on these perenially important issues.
