How accurate is the oral fluid drug screening technology?
The oral fluid test is a screening test only. Oral fluid drug screening technology provides a reliable indicative result in a matter of minutes, making it ideal for use as a roadside screening device but not for an evidentiary result to be used at court. Those who are screened as being drug positive will be required to provide a further additional oral fluid sample for further testing. Only a positive drug result from the Government’s analytical laboratory can be used to prosecute for a drug driving offence.
