NASTY MEDICINE

Bloody Idiots Who Drive After Drinking Alcohol or Using Illicit Drugs 
Are a Menace on Our Roads.

Now another danger has been identified -- drivers  who are taking 
prescription drugs that can affect their  reactions.

A survey reveals that one in three Victorian drivers  admits driving 
under the influence of prescription  medicines.

Police make the obvious point that driving under the  influence of 
any drug --  legal or illegal -- is dangerous.

Drug agencies are at present making a study of  drug-driving. When it 
is concluded, hopefully they will  make a constructive suggestion on 
how to minimise the  risk.
