In collaboration with FCB London, The Department for Transport, THINK!, has launched this thought-provoking campaign directed by Jack Driscoll through Academy, aiming to convey the risks of drug driving.  

The film centres around a young man whose car – and life – spins out of control when he decides to take drugs in the driver's seat. Using a rotating camera technique from the driver's perspective, Driscoll whisks us through the aftermath of the car crash, a medical examination in the police station, a courtroom dock as he's sentenced, and finally his lonely prison cell. 

The timely launch goes live ahead of the festive season, a time of year when drug-driving increase. The campaign specifically targets young men aged 17 to 29, who are more likely to be at risk of being killed or seriously injured in drug-driving collisions. 

Emily Whiteaway, Managing Partner at FCB London, says: “We identified a worrying misconception: many young men believe that drugs pose no risk to their driving ability. Our new THINK! campaign aims to dispel that myth and highlights the devastating consequences. As we head into the festive period, it’s more important than ever to raise awareness of these dangers.”
