A Word about Drugs

Awareness and Prevention

Always be alert and prepared when it comes to
medications and drugs.

Remind your clients that they should:

• Keep all medication in its original, labelled container and carry a note from their doctor explaining its use.
• Never carry a package or luggage for someone else, unless they are able to check the contents.
• Choose their travelling companions wisely. They should never cross a border with a hitchhiker or as a hitchhiker. Although your clients may not be carrying anything illegal, they could be implicated if their companions are in possession of illegal drugs.
• Be equally cautious about who and what they carry in their vehicles. Your clients could be held responsible for their passengers’ offences, even though they may be committed without their knowledge or participation.
