Olly takes the reins as the temporary host, filling in for Terry, who is busy completing his 5k runs for charity. As they dive into the episode, the discussion quickly shifts to a pressing concern: the alarming rise in drug driving incidents, particularly among younger drivers. The speakers explore the societal shifts that have led to a decrease in alcohol consumption among youth, yet a simultaneous increase in drug use, raising questions about the perception of danger associated with drug driving versus drink driving. With insights from regular guests; Tom Stenson and Dr Liz Box, as well as special guest, Neale Kinnear, the conversation flows into the nuances of how driving instructors can engage with their students to address these issues effectively. They emphasise the importance of understanding the cultural context and the need for open dialogues surrounding these topics, as driving instructors stand at a unique intersection where they can impact young people's attitudes toward road safety.
