Eli Green less than 2 min read July 10, 2023 - 3:00PM NCA NewsWire More from on the road ‘THIS IS MY COUNTRY TOO’: ELDERS ERUPT DRIVER KILLED IN HORROR TWO-CAR CRASH WOMAN KILLED AS TOW TRUCK SLIDES OFF ROAD Queenslanders will now be tested for cocaine as a part of the state’s roadside drug detection effort. The new test used by police officers will detect cocaine alongside MDMA (ecstasy), THC (cannabis) and methamphetamines. The change comes after an increase in the number of drivers involved with serious crashes testing positive for cocaine in the past five years. Drug-driving was involved with 20 per cent of all fatalities on Queensland roads last year. Police conduct about 50,000 random tests every year, with one in four motorists returning a positive result for some type of illicit drug. Last year, 61 people died from crashes involving a drug-driver or rider, about 20 per cent of the lives lost on Queensland roads. The number of drug-related car deaths has increased by about 30 per cent over the past five years. Drivers who test positive for cocaine, cannabis, speed, ice, or ecstasy will have their licence disqualified, face fines of up to $2167, and repeater offenders could receive jail time. Most states only test for MDMA, THC, and methamphetamines. Picture: NCA NewsWire / David Mariuz The number of motorists caught with drugs in their system was “unacceptable”, according to Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey. “If you‘re behind the wheel with drugs in your system, you’re not only a danger to yourself but to every other Queenslander and we make no apologies for coming down hard,” he said. Queensland, which began random drug screening 15 years ago, follows NSW in adding cocaine to roadside drug tests. NSW introduced the drug to its testing campaign in 2018, while other states only test for MDMA, THC, and methamphetamines. * * * Gundry MD Heart Surgeon Begs Americans: “Stop Doing This To Your Blueberries"Gundry MDLearn More Undo Home Genius This Is How Much A New Roof Should Cost In 2023Home GeniusLearn More Undo We Recommend SearchAlike Big Banks Hate When Seniors Discover This 12% Interest Savings Account PromotedPromoted |SearchAlike Undo Online Shopping Tools Amazon Hates When Prime Members Do This, But They Can't Stop You PromotedPromoted |Online Shopping ToolsLearn More Undo TopAnswersToday Inflation Is Causing Banks To Offer Savings Accounts With Up To 12% Interest PromotedPromoted |TopAnswersToday Undo Tommy Chong's CBD Tommy Chong: The Horrifying Truth About CBD PromotedPromoted |Tommy Chong's CBD Undo WalletGenius Delaware Banks Can't Stand When You Open This Online 9% Interest Account PromotedPromoted |WalletGenius Undo hear.com This Is The Highest Rated Hearing Aid In The US PromotedPromoted |hear.com Undo Health Insight Journal Tiny Neurоpathy Device Is Helping Millions With Their Fооt Neurоpathy (Nervе Pаin) PromotedPromoted |Health Insight JournalLearn More Undo Senior Discounts By National Penny Here Are 7 Legal Discounts Seniors Only Get When They Ask PromotedPromoted |Senior Discounts By National Penny Undo Cool Gadgets The Pond Colorful Fountain Attracts Hummingbirds, Birds and Butterflies PromotedPromoted |Cool Gadgets Undo Healthy Guru Simple Japanese Trick for Nail Infection PromotedPromoted |Healthy Guru Undo More related stories On the Road ‘THIS IS MY COUNTRY TOO’: ELDERS ERUPT An argument between traditional owners over who had the right to conduct the smoking ceremony has held up a Perth freeway opening.
