One in nine motorists aged between 17 and 24 has driven after taking drugs - and three per cent do so every month, a shocking report revealed yesterday. The findings have been published by road safety charity Brake as a team of Government experts draft Britain's first drug-driving laws. The charity, which carried out the research, called for roadside 'drugalysers' to be introduced.

Existing tests can measure a driver's abilities, but not whether they are high on illegal substances.

The family of Lillian Groves, killed at 14 by a driver who had been smoking cannabis, are backing the campaign. The family, from Croydon, want it to be an offence to drive while on illegal drugs.
