Multi-tasking

Multi-tasking is a myth. Your brain can’t perform two thinking tasks at the same time.

If you are driving and talking on a cell phone, your attention to driving becomes secondary to the phone conversation.

Keep yourself and others safe. Don’t drive distracted.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

Everyone needs physical activity and walking is an ideal way to get it. Walking provides opportunities to exercise, feel connected with the community, and serves as a means of getting around. However, pedestrian safety is a growing public health concern with pedestrian fatalities at their highest rate in 30 years.

Why We Care- Pedestrian Safety

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

WHY WE CARE

Pedestrian safety is a growing public health concern with pedestrian fatalities at their highest rate in 30 years. On average, a pedestrian is killed every 84 minutes, which equates to 17 people a day. Drivers who are distracted, impaired, speeding, or don’t follow the rules of the road pose a greater risk to pedestrians, as well as pedestrians who are distracted or crossing where drivers do not anticipate them entering the road.

Higher Education- DUI Drugs

No Comments on Higher Education- DUI Drugs

DUI DRUGS

Driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) is the operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of or impaired by any type of drug, legal or illegal. This includes marijuana, prescription drugs, and some over-the-counter medications.

While research estimating the crash risk of driving under the influence of drugs is ongoing, many experimental studies have shown that drugs impair attention, alertness, reaction time, lane tracking, coordination, and perception of time and distance. Even small amounts of some drugs can have a serious effect on driving ability.

HIGHER EDUCATION - DRIVING HIGH IS DUI

TREDS offers a free program for adults on worksites and organization to promote social responsibility and roadway safety. Higher Education is a 60-minute interactive class that discusses the impact of cannabis and prescription medication on driving. The program is delivered by law enforcement and public health professionals.

Topics addressed in the class:

Scope of the problem
Effects of cannabis and prescription drugs on driving
Standardized Field Sobriety Testing
Personal, legal, and financial consequences of DUI
Strategies to promote safe driving

If you would like to be trained to deliver Higher Education classes, please visit our Training Page to learn more.

Fact Cards

Driving High is DUI. Developed by TREDS, this fact card for the public addresses THC potency, the ‘high’ resulting from edibles compared to inhaling, and legal consequences resulting from a cannabis DUI conviction, whether consumed for medical or recreational purposes.

The fact card is available in both English and Spanish. Click below to download the materials.

The website tracks research and legislative activity to strengthen DUID laws in all 50 states and includes information on what police, politicians, prosecutors, and others are doing to confront this growing epidemic.

Programs

Drug-Impaired Driving Call to Action. On March 15, 2018 the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched its drug-impaired driving initiative. It brought together key stakeholders, including safety partners, data and policy experts, law enforcement and criminal justice professionals, toxicologists and drug recognition experts to start a national dialogue on how to combat drug-impaired driving.

Drugged Driving Resources. This project from Innovation Research and Training, Inc., aims to prevent and reduce the problem of drug-impaired driving in communities through the dissemination of research-informed and evidence-based resources.
