This online e-learning course has been refreshed during 2025 and deals with impairment and provides road safety practitioners with an increased knowledge and awareness of how alcohol, cannabis and cocaine impact on road user behaviour, together with the legal implications of using such substances in the road safety context.

The course has been developed based on feedback received from practitioners who have attended other Road Safety GB Academy courses and consists of 3 x 30 minute e-learning modules.  These highly interactive modules will provide a road safety practitioner with an increased understanding of:

• How these particular drugs impact on road user behaviour
• Why the drugs have these effects
• The legalities around alcohol and drugs
• Possible countermeasures.

Who should attend?

The course has been designed for all road safety practitioners who need to increase their awareness and knowledge of impairment in relation to road use. The course will be of particular interest to road safety officers, fire and rescue staff, police, driving instructors, fleet managers and other related professionals.

Course fees

The cost to access the full online course is £50 +VAT for Academy members and £65 +VAT for non-members.

On receipt of online payment you will be sent a link to start the modules.

On completion, the practitioner can request a Road Safety GB course certificate.
