Are drivers required to leave their vehicle to undertake a random roadside saliva test?
A roadside saliva screening test may be conducted through the driver’s window, in a similar way to breath tests for alcohol. As with alcotests, a driver who returns a positive result to the initial saliva test will be required to leave their vehicle to accompany police for further testing (oral fluid analysis or blood test).
