Drugged Driving as Common as
Drunk Driving Among Teens
White House Drug Policy
Office Urges Teen Driving Safety During National Drunk and Drugged Driving
Prevention Month (3D Month)
Each day in this country, as many
as 9,000 16 & 17 year-old drivers get behind the wheel of a car.
Driving-age teenagers have the highest overall crash rates of any age group
and traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for 15 to 20 year-olds.
Research shows that drug and alcohol use
compound teens' crash risks and a recent study has revealed that teens are
just as likely to drive under the influence of marijuana as alcohol.
The Office of National Drug
Control Policy's National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign is partnering with
Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) to warn parents of the
prevalence and dangers of drugged and drunk driving. For more
