Knowledge of the road safety toll from driving under the influence of psychoactive drugs is growing. In Austria, 7% of drivers have admitted to have driven under the influence of drugs. The prevalence of illicit drugs amongst killed drivers has been estimated at around 8% in some European countries. New ways of tackling drug driving are being developed and implemented across Europe. New enforcement strategies and improved detection technologies, combined with more effective penalties and rehabilitation courses, are all helping to create a more comprehensive approach. During the seminar, an overview of the current state of drug driving in Austria and the EU will be presented. Attendees will subsequently be able to discuss measures to tackle drug driving in Austria with representatives from the Austrian Interior and Transport Ministries as well as experts and stakeholders from the private sector.
