Australian driver drug testing begins
Download Victoria's Police Minister, Andre Haermeyer, said that a third of drivers killed on the state's roads last year tested positive to drugs other than alcohol. He said the roadside checks were a world first. They'll target people who've used cannabis and methamphetamines at nightclubs and dance parties. Truck drivers who take drugs to stay awake to meet deadlines will also face scrutiny. Drivers will be asked to place a small absorbent pad on their tongues for a few seconds.
