Roadside Drug Testing Legislation w/ Kali Mercier from the NZ Drug Foundation: March 10, 2022.

The Government has introduced legislation that would see random roadside drug testing beginning in 2023. Police would use saliva testing to check for the presence of drugs in a driver's system, and if the test detects any, the driver will be fined and stopped from driving for a minimum of 12 hours.

Emilia Sullivan spoke to Kali Mercier, Policy and Advocacy Manager of the New Zealand Drug Foundation about how this new legislation would work.
