COCAINE IS THE NEW "RIVET" FOR TRUCK DRIVERS, SAYS SURVEY
Cocaine is the new "rivet" for truck drivers. Research released in September by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (FMUSP) points out that the drug has been used in place of amphetamines to keep drivers awake longer. Among the interviewees, consumption was up to four times higher than that identified in the Brazilian population.
The survey randomly heard 308 drivers driving along four federal highways in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo and found that 3.5% of them had used cocaine. The urine was analyzed and the most alarming data were found in Fernão Dias, in the Atibaia region, in the interior of São Paulo: 4.5% of the truck drivers approached had consumed cocaine.
"It is evident that this driver is going to put the lives of other people at risk", says physician Vilma Leyton, coordinator of the USP research. Cocaine and amphetamine act on the central nervous system, altering the driver's perception, reducing attention and reflexes. For Flávio Pechansky, a researcher at the Center for Study and Research in Traffic and Alcohol at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, cocaine consumption among truck drivers is even more serious because these drivers spend 70% of their time on the roads. "He does things he wouldn't do if he were sober, he acts impulsively."
The substitution of amphetamine for cocaine has explanations in the trafficking strategy. "Truck drivers are deceived by promises of stronger effects from cocaine than from the 'rivet', which they say make people awake longer", says the president of the Brazilian Association of Logistics and Cargo Transport, Newton Gibson. The drug is touted as a formula to make 90 hours of driving seem shorter.
Workload
The excessive workload is criticized by the director of the Brazilian Traffic Medicine Association, Alberto Sabaag. "I'd rather have him consume some substance and arrive alive than fall asleep at the wheel." Marcelo Pereira, consultant for the Brazilian Traffic Education Association, cites the characteristics of the profession as another factor for addiction. "Truck drivers live alone, unable to participate in family life. This makes them more vulnerable to the seduction of drugs."
