Drink & Drug Driving
Driving under the influence of drugs represents a major threat to road safety. Modern recreational drugs in particular have brought about a dramatic increase in drug-related accidents, now at an equivalent magnitude to that of drink driving.
By law, the Police must control the prevalence of driving whilst impaired through drinks or drugs and so carry out routine drug tests on motorists, but it is difficult for authorities to recognise drug-abuse without special detection systems.
With DrugWipe® rapid tests from Securetec AG, suspicion of drug-abuse can be gained quickly and reliably both at the road side and in the station. Thanks to leading-edge antibody detection technology, the test can be applied non invasively, using either saliva or sweat. This method has many advantages over urine sampling and is much easier to handle for both the tester and the person being tested.
Traditional laboratory testing takes time and is costly, even more so if it subsequently proves to be incorrect. Due to the very specific nature of DrugWipe®, test results are confirmed quickly and reliably.
For road traffic testing DrugWipe® offers many advantages:
- Test results are available after 3-10 minutes
- Up to 5 substances can be reliably detected in a single test
- Non-invasive for the person being tested
- Highly specific antibodies guarantee reliable detection
- Laboratory costs can be substantially reduced
- Road side applicable.
