Some 36% of Spaniards aged between 16 and 30 have driven under the influence of alcohol, while one in ten have driven having consumed cannabis or cocaine. The majority of these are males of between 25 and 30, whose profile shows them as combining work and study, residing in rural areas and being habitual drivers.

This is a shameful and appalling statistic,clearly much more needs to be done to get over the message that you do not drink and drive or take drugs and drive but this must be combined with more enforcement and longer jail sentences,other drivers have a right to drive safely without the risk of being injured or killed by somebody who has been drinking or taking drugs. How would you feel if your wife,son or daughter or other close family member was injured or killed by someone who was drink-driving or had been taking drugs.?
