A new integrated campaign via KWP! Advertising
for the Motor Accident Commission of South Australia (MAC), aims to
reduce the incidence of drug driving on South Australian roads.
The
campaign is appearing on television, radio, online, out-of-home and on
MAC's network of roadside billboards throughout regional South
Australia.

MAC General Manager of Road Safety, Michael Cornish says the frequency of fatal crashes where
drivers and riders are testing positive to illegal drugs is on the
rise. Says Cornish, "Around 24% of those killed in road crashes over the
last two years returned a positive test. Drug driver detection rates
are also on the rise with positive results being returned in around 9%
of tests compared with 2.5% in 2008."
MAC is the voice of road
safety in South Australia and while they do not condone the use of
illegal drugs, they see a compelling need to provide information around
the length of time drugs stay in your system and can be detected by
police drug driving tests.
"We're
certainly not saying it's okay to take drugs but people are taking
drugs and we just want them to stay off the road. For their sake and the
sake of all road users," adds Cornish.
Says KWP! Account
Director, Tristan Glover: "By educating the public about how long drugs
stay in the system, we can hopefully stop people from drug driving and
prevent drug related fatalities on our roads."
