Alcohol and drug Drink driving is a factor in about one in every five crashes inNSW where someone loses their life. Of the people who arekilled, 88 per cent are men and 75 per cent are under the ageof 40.

You don’t have to be drunk to be affected by alcohol. Youmight feel normal but no one drives as well after drinkingalcohol.

Alcohol and drug continue In NSW, police have the power to:Stop drivers at random to test for alcohol.Arrest drivers who test over the legal limit.Arrest drivers they believe are impaired by

drugs, and conduct a blood and urine testRequire a driver to undergo a sobriety test in

certain circumstancesDrink driving is stupid.

Mobile phone It is illegal to drive or ride a vehicle while

using a hand held mobile phone. This means that talking, sending or receiving text messages,

playing games or taking photos are illegal when using a hand-held phone. It is also illegal to perform these activities when your vehicle is stopped but not parked, for example when you are waiting at traffic lights. The best action to do is always switch off mobile while driving.

Mobile phone continue If you must talk on a hands-free phone while

driving:Make sure it is a hands-free phone that is

set up and working before you start driving.Keep the conversation short. Don't engage

in complex or emotional conversations.Tell the person on the other end that you

are driving and may have to end the call.Never text message (SMS) while driving.End the call if it is distracting you from

driving.
