Our next Bitesize event: The psychology of drug driving

Drug driving is on the rise in the UK, with the Department for Transport figures for Great Britain revealing increasing drug involvement in fatal collisions. Police are also stopping and testing more drivers for drugs than ever before.

But who is drug driving?

Join us for our next 30-minute Bitesize briefing on the psychology of the modern day drug driver. What do we know about them? What would deter them? How do they view risk and reward? And does their drug of choice impact their decision making? We’ll refer to our recent research in this area and dive into some relevant findings from behavioural psychology.

Our event will open with a short address from Steve Bucksey, Motorcycle Casualty Reduction Officer at Surrey & Sussex Police, who will set the scene and share some operational intel on this growing challenge.

This event is relevant for those invested in road safety, safety communications and behavioural psychology.
