NHTSA 420 Drug-Impaired Driving Prevention Campaign April 15 – April 20, 2024

Drug Impaired Driving – Risky Driving (the issue, the initiative and helpful resources)

Drugs and Driving

You can’t drive safely if you’re impaired. That’s why it’s illegal everywhere in America to drive under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, opioids, methamphetamines, or any potentially impairing drug–prescribed or over the counter. Driving while impaired by any substance—legal or illegal—puts you and others in harm’s way. Learn the latest research on drug-impaired driving, misconceptions about marijuana use, and what you can do to make smarter choices to drive safely.

Take part in the 420 Drug-Impaired Driving Prevention Campaign (April 15 – April 20, 2024)

Relevant, timely messaging is an important addition to any communication plan, as it creates an opportunity for engagement with the community.

On the 20th of April, also known as 420 — a number associated with marijuana use — marijuana users might observe a day of increased marijuana use. We have themed material that reminds drivers: If You Feel Different, You Drive Different and that it’s dangerous and illegal to drive impaired.
