Plain bagel done well. Pleasantly substantive.
Summary
The Danish Road Safety Council has launched a new campaign targeting drug driving, particularly cannabis-impaired driving among young people aged 17-24. The campaign, created with creative agency Worth Your While, uses animated films and rolling papers designed like Danish driving licenses to raise awareness. Data shows roughly a third of serious or fatal drug-related traffic accidents involve young drivers in this age group, and awareness of the dangers of drug driving remains dangerously low compared to drink driving.
Key quotes

With awareness worryingly low, the organisation has teamed up with independent creative agency Worth Your While.
