Drug-drivers will be forced to take mandatory rehabilitation courses before being allowed back behind the wheel, under fresh proposals by the Transport Secretary.

The transport secretary hopes to stamp out the issue, which is often committed by repeat offenders.

Those convicted of drug-driving are handed a driving ban, prison sentence or fine by the courts, but are not currently required to complete rehabilitation courses such as those offered to drink-drivers.Mr Shapps said: "Drink-driving is now rightly seen as a social taboo by most of us in this country and we have worked hard to drive down drink-drive related deaths.
