Mike Penning, road safety minister, has announced that by 2012 all police stations could have drugalysers
The move will mean that Police will be able to carry out a drug test for evidence without having to get permission from a doctor. It is thought that the first units could be operational within a few months. Brake, the road safety charity, has stated that more needs to be done to clamp down on drug-driving, perhaps with the introduction of road side testing units as already used by police forces in other countries.
