The new oral fluid screening testing has netted its first result after a man tested positive for methamphetamine at a checkpoint in Wellington.
People who have consumed impairing drugs should simply not be on our roads, says Superintendent Steve Greally, Director of Road Policing.
“We make no apology for screening drivers to see if they’ve recently used drugs, and getting a drugged driver off our roads makes them safer.”
A 40-year-old man, who had his young daughter in the car, was asked to pull into a checkpoint on Hutt Road last night just before 9pm.
