---<br /> Festival-goers who take illegal drugs then drive home afterwards will be <br /> targeted in a major government campaign this summer.<br /> <br /> The "zero-tolerance" campaign follows a six-fold increase in the number of <br /> road accidents caused by motorists who use cocaine, cannabis or ecstasy <br /> then get behind the wheel of their vehicle, often with fatal consequences.<br /> <br /> A new anti-drug-driving crackdown will be launched this June at <br /> Glastonbury, Europe's largest music festival. Ticket-holders will be issued <br /> with special credit-card-size expandable flyers which warn them of the <br /> dangers of driving while on drugs.<br /> <br /> Department of Transport officials confirmed they are also in the process of <br /> drawing up plans to target other events, including the V music festivals in <br /> Chelmsford and Staffordshire.<br /> <br /> Official figures show that around 18 per cent of people fatally injured in <br /> road crashes are found to have traces of illicit drugs in their bodies. <br /> This compares with a figure of 3 per cent 15 years ago.<br /> <br /> A major EU study, based on hospital samples from road victims and the <br /> results of roadside tests, is also expected to show that drug-driving is <br /> widespread in Britain.<br /> <br /> The maximum penalty for drug-driving is six years in prison. Since last <br /> December police forces have been able to force motorists to undergo <br /> roadside tests to see if their responses have been impaired by drug-taking.<br /> <br /> Officers from 39 forces have been trained to carry out these tests, which <br /> include checking to see if a driver can stand with one foot off the ground <br /> without swaying. A positive drugs test is not sufficient proof that a <br /> motorist is incapable of driving.<br /> <br /> Road safety experts and scientists are currently in the process of <br /> developing a more sophisticated process of gauging the impact of different <br /> types of drugs on driving ability. There are devices on the market which <br /> test for the presence of drugs in the blood or in urine. But these cannot <br /> determine how different drugs impair driving.<br /> <br /> Brake, the road safety charity, warns that nearly a million drivers on the <br /> roads could have taken illegal drugs in the past year based on research it <br /> has carried out. It will call on the Government to step up levels of <br /> enforcement on drink and drug-driving at a conference this Thursday in <br /> London. The charity says that driving while under the influence of drugs as <br /> well as drink is a "growing menace on our roads".<br /> <br /> "Every week people lose their lives because of drivers who choose to get <br /> behind the wheel while impaired, and it is often young people whose lives <br /> are needlessly cut short," said a spokeswoman.<br /> <br /> Dr Rob Tunbridge, an expert on road safety and drug- driving, said the <br /> impact of drugs on motorists was harder than alcohol to determine because <br /> different types of drugs vary widely in their impact on the human body.<br /> <br /> "Drugs can either make people overconfident about their ability to drive or <br /> induce drowsiness," he said. <br />Aurora Indica |  B52 |  Big Bud |  California Orange Bud |  Citral |  Four Way |  Haze |  Hindu Kush |  Indoor Mix |  Jock Horror |  K2 |  Maroc x Afghan |  Northern Light x Big Bud |  Northern Light x Haze |  Northern Light x Shiva |  Shiva |  Skunk #1 |  Skunk Red Hair |  Skunk Special |  Papaya |  White Rhino |  Haze 19 x Skunk |  Afghan |  Master Kush |  Northern Light |  Super Skunk |  Top 44 |  Durban Poison |  Early Bud |  Early Girl |  Early Misty |  Early Special |  Hawaii x Maui Waui |  Hawaii x Skunk #1 |  Hollands Hope |  KC 33 x Master Kush |  Mixed Sativa |  New Purple Power |  Swazi |  Swiss Miss |  Northern Bright |  Snow White (fem.) |  Supergirl |  Venus |  Wonder Woman |  Kaya |  PPP (fem.) |  Medusa |  Blue Mystic |  Chrystal |  Ice |  Misty |  PPP |  White Widow |  Nirvana Special |  White Rhino |  Snow White |  AK-48 |  Bubblelicious |  Silver Pearl |  Haze |  Jock Horror |  Northern Light x Haze |  White Rhino |  Haze 19 x Skunk |
