The State of Victoria introduced random roadside screening with the DrugWipe quick screening test in 2004. Since then, all states have implemented this consistent policy of educating and deterring drivers. A study undertaken by the Accident Research Center at Monash University in Victoria between 2005 and 2009 demonstrated just how successful this approach has been. The number of fatalities among those driving under the influence of drugs was shown to fall as the number of roadside screenings increased. The percentage of positive screening results also dropped.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>A change of thinking among drug users<\/h2>\n<p>A study in New South Wales just two years after the introduction of roadside screening indicated that the policy of deterrence is leading to a change of thinking in Australia. The data was collected in the form of a survey among drug users. 80 percent of drivers surveyed were aware of the fact that they can be tested for drug driving at a roadside screening at any time. 61 percent said they would probably drive under the influence of drugs less frequently because of the risk of having to undergo a roadside screening.<\/p>\n<h2>97% acceptance for DrugWipe<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Australia-drugtesting-campaign-DrugWipe_s.jpg\" alt=\"Werbettext gegen Drogen im Stra\u00dfenverkehr auf Zapfhahn in Australien mit Drogenschnelltest DrugWipe\" width=\"149\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In Australia, the fight against drug driving is being waged with a large-scale media campaign, incorporating printed advertisements, roadside billboards, and TV commercials. The TV commercials in particular provide a no-punches-pulled wake-up call to the dangers of mindless drug use. This topic is very much at the fore of Australian public consciousness. Everyone has direct personal experience of undergoing roadside screening, or knows someone who does. This makes it less likely that people will want to run this risk. During screening, roads are often completely closed while police officers take a saliva example from all drivers without exception using DrugWipe. Reasonable suspicion is not necessary. If the screening result is positive, a second test is performed on-site aboard a special \u201cdrugs bus\u201d. If this is also positive, a saliva sample is taken and sent to the lab. In Australia, saliva analysis is required by law to verify the result of a quick screening test. Results from roadside screening match results from the lab in 96 to 99.5 percent of cases.<\/p>\n<h2>Fast results<\/h2>\n<p>Surveys of individuals screened indicate that 97% were satisfied with the test equipment. The saliva test provides a simple and minimally invasive means of sample collection. This takes some stress out of the screening situation, both for the officers and for the drivers tested. Acceptance of the screening is also high because DrugWipe produces very rapid results. When the South Australian Police surveyed individuals who were tested, 85% said they found 5 minutes acceptable and 98% endorsed the drug test.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8060\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8060\" class=\"wp-image-8060 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.securetec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Australia-road-sign-Driver-drug-testing_s.jpg\" alt=\"Stra\u00dfenschild in Australien mit der Aufschrift Driver Drug Tests conducted in Victoria\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Drug test warning in Victoria<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The police screen drivers even where there is no reasonable suspicion that they are under the influence of drugs. They concentrate their efforts on areas with a large number of nightclubs and discotheques, locations where rave parties are held and frequently traveled truck routes. As a result, drug driving ends in prosecution in many cases, and more accidents are avoided. In 2016, in Queensland alone, over 50,000 screenings have been conducted, with more than 10,000 positive results. The results of a study in Victoria indicate that risk posed by drugs to road safety is being reduced thanks to large-scale roadside screenings with DrugWipe. The greater the number of screenings conducted, the lower the number of drivers killed who have drugs in their bloodstream. Based on these results, programs are set to be expanded and screenings intensified.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-6ddu2i-db1426e2b44dbbbdd9b9e97febf7e93c hr-default  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_full '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-8x0xl-9a623128c677c549009d93f99d0a4afa av_one_full  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mogydpki-c9749a8c262aa979abfda7f51add0fa8 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>DrugWipe<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/h3>\n<p>Australian police are combating drug driving with great success thanks to DrugWipe.
