From early in the new year motorists suspected of driving while under the influence of drugs are to be asked to perform a range of roadside physical tests.
The tests, such as balancing on one leg, are part of a crackdown on drug-driving to be announced today by Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar.
Changes to the Road Traffic Bill are to be introduced before the end of next month while the Garda are already receiving training in a range of behavioural tests to determine whether motorists’ driving skills are impaired by illegal or prescription drugs.
