Must a driver undergo drug-detection tests lawfully required by traffic-enforcement officers?

Correct answer

Yes, the same as breathalyser tests.

Yes, as with alcohol tests, under article 14.2 of the Traffic Act. A prior crash or individual suspicion is not required: preventive checks are also possible. Other road users are required to undergo tests if involved in a crash or having committed a traffic offence. Drug detection comprises an authorised saliva test and subsequent analysis of a sufficient sample; the statutory right to a confirmatory test applies.
