Governor Andrew Cuomo is launching a new public service campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of drugged driving in New York State.

The public service announcement, "Drugged Driving is Impaired Driving", was developed by the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee.  It will run on television stations across New York.

“Make no mistake: Drugged driving is a threat to our roadways and places everyone on them in danger,” Governor Cuomo said. “This campaign builds upon this administration’s ongoing efforts to crack down on this reckless behavior, prevent more impaired drivers from getting behind the wheel, and avoid preventable tragedies."

The Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research reports over 1,400 crashes statewide in 2015 involved drugged-drivers.
