This primarily means speeding or being under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. Numerous scientific studies have shown that controls and penalties act as deterrents. Sufficient levels of consistent traffic surveillance by the police and local authorities are key to this.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10081\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10081\" class=\"wp-image-10081 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/HEM-Studie_Abschreckung-grafik-EN_Source-Deutsche-Tamoil_3x2.jpg\" alt=\"Chart showing the results of the survey on when and where checks should be stepped up\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10081\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>The Germans want more road traffic controls:<\/strong> this was the finding of a survey on traffic controls conducted by the petrol station chain HEM in February 2022 involving 2,383 participants aged 18 and over. Source: Deutsche Tamoil GmbH, Hamburg<\/p><\/div>\n<p>An instant 13-percent rise in speed violations after it was publicised that the previous speed checks were no longer in place \u2013 this depressing record was logged by a local authority that took part in a study on the effects of increased traffic checks. This does not happen everywhere that checks are suspended but several studies have shown that the educational effects diminish within less than 18 months if no further checks are imposed.<\/p>\n<p>The effectiveness of road traffic checks depends on multiple individual factors and their combination. However, experts agree that the probability of being caught is one of the main decisive factors. There is also the threat of a fine that is regarded as high. Here, the perception of fines depends on people\u2019s income and social situation, for example. A meta-study conducted in 2016 showed a 15% decline in all offences as a result of a 50% to 100% fine increase and no effect on offences in the case of an increase of less than 50%. Fine increases reduced the number of fatal accidents by up to 12%.<\/p>\n<p>The threat or possibility of losing a driver\u2019s licence reduced the number of accidents by 17% and the number of offences by 20%. The greatest reduction was seen when the loss of a driver\u2019s licence was combined with measures such as rehabilitation programmes or vehicle confiscation. The rapid enforcement of fines also has a positive effect in terms of deterrence.<\/p>\n<p>Whether in relation to speed, rules such as wearing a seatbelt or the influence of alcohol and drugs, consistent, regular and, above all, sufficiently frequent controls result in better compliance with regulations. Various surveys have shown that the majority of road users are even fully in favour of these. The level of fairness with which the controls are performed and whether the controllers use recognised, reliable methods have also been proven to play a part. Appropriate equipment for the police, authorities and municipalities is therefore all the more important.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-g82jd-83b065b6d70837985c8485fa31cc1e56 hr-default  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mgq70hbs-9dc47e015acf20dba1cff76c9d11c83e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Latest study from Australia<\/h3>\n<p>In December 2021, an Australian study was published that looked at roadside drug testing as a deterrent. The findings were as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The risk of being caught is not high enough to achieve a change in behaviour.<\/li>\n<li>To act as a sufficient deterrent and instigate a change in behaviour, road users must at least witness the performance of a roadside drug test more than once a year.<\/li>\n<li>Being present during such testing is a sufficient deterrent. People do not have to be tested themselves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The following conclusions were drawn:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More tests need to be performed if they are to act as a deterrent.<\/li>\n<li>Drug testing should be as visible as possible, e.g. on busy roads.

With a budget of 2 million pounds, the campaign against drug driving was one of the most extensive. The primary target group comprised young men aged between 17 and 34. To reach these, the campaign increasingly ran on social media. There were 7 million YouTube views of the film \u2018Paranoia\u2019 and 18 radio adverts reached 61% of the target audience. 600 posters were also displayed in pub and club toilets. The result: 52% of the targeted audience saw a campaign image at least once. The warning messages therefore reached an above-average number of road users.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-386cl7-a9287e056040003331888707958af5c7 hr-default  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mmdg0e9a-9f39f1a9e66a35dfeaf163386cc5217e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-mmdg0e9a-9f39f1a9e66a35dfeaf163386cc5217e{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-mmdg0e9a-9f39f1a9e66a35dfeaf163386cc5217e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mluumlgt-9530ffa69f7c605ae7f96c9e74c3b5c0 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-723 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/s503g-frei-300x68.png\" alt=\"Drogenschnelltest DrugWipe S 503 G\" width=\"300\" height=\"68\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/s503g-frei-300x68.png 300w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/s503g-frei-768x175.png 768w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/s503g-frei-705x161.png 705w, https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/s503g-frei.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The DrugWipe<sup>\u00ae <\/sup><\/strong><strong>product portfolio offers<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>rapid screening drug tests for testing saliva and surfaces \u2013<br \/>\nsimply contact us; we\u2019re always happy to help<\/strong><strong>!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mluuwmob-d3d55988080da931f1789212f54881a8\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-mluuwmob-d3d55988080da931f1789212f54881a8{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-mluuwmob-d3d55988080da931f1789212f54881a8 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mmakas22-e4fdef32b6557414c1141bd1d99e807b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">References:<br \/>\nBundesanstalt f\u00fcr Stra\u00dfenwesen BAST, Bergisch Gladbach; Australasien College of Road Safety, Collett Place, Pearce ACT 2607; Deutsche Tamoil GmbH, Hamburg; Polizei Brandenburg \u201eKonzeptionelle Verkehrssicherheitsarbeit \u2013 Ausgew\u00e4hlte Aspekte wirkungsorientierter Verkehrsunfallbek\u00e4mpfung\u201d; Gesamtverband der Deutschen Versicherungswirtschaft e.
