Introduction

Youth, drugs and driving are three words that don’t belong together. There are unfortunately many young people who have drugproblems. Then sometimes their addiction to drugs is complemented with cardriving.

Behind the handwheel of approximately 8000 cars hides a drunk driver every day in Sweden. Many of them are young people who not only risk their own life but other’s as well. Teenagers have not developed any tolorance towards alcohol and they are affected in a graver way by it.

This is a widespread problem, concerning most industrialised countries as Sweden. And so the endeavours against it begin through education, laws and help from authorities - like the police. Dealing with all kinds of drugproblems becomes an expensive priority.

Drugs of all kinds reduce one’s driving ability and therefor each country has their own regulations. The limit for drink driving is in Sweden 0,2. There are additionally other systems of regulations for example in Australia.
