Danger signs are emerging from surveys over the past few months that drug-driving and using mobiles while at the wheel are on the rise among younger motorists.
While many of the surveys reflect trends in Britain or further afield, there is every reason to suspect Irish drivers are not much different.
According to the most recent survey by the RAC, as many as 44pc of drivers said they felt less safe on the roads this year than before.
Based on responses from 1,002 motorists, the survey showed that the number of 17 to 24-year-olds who drove their car after taking drugs has gone up from 5pc to 9pc in the past 12 months.
