On Australian roads, drug driving is growing much faster than drunk driving, and police are seeking to expand roadside tests for take drugs driving.
Virginia police conducted about 120000 drug tests and 3 million alcohol tests in 2018.
Although the number of tests is very small, the number of drivers caught driving drugs is close to that of drunk drivers.
A total of 4633 drug drivers were arrested and 5162 drunk drivers were arrested, the Herald Sun reported.
According to the figures, the police catch an average of one driver for every 26 tests, but 581 tests are needed to catch a drunk driver, that is to say, the test rate of the driver is 22 times higher.
The police conducted fewer drug tests than alcohol tests because the former was more expensive and took longer, and the initial saliva drug test took three minutes.
State police say the increase in the number of drug drivers is due to the fact that drunk driving has become a cultural taboo, but young people have not avoided take drugs. In the same way
Assistant Director of Road Safety Ryan (Stephen Leane) said change people`s cultural attitude towards drug driving will be a priority.
"The driver is one of the greatest dangers on our road," Ryan told the Herald Sun.
``Wine drive was the challenge of the 1970s and 1980s, and we really changed our attitude;``Lane said that the society had no longer accepted alcohol drives at all, and had no sympathy for those who had been caught.
But a relatively large number of drug drivers have been arrested, prompting Virginia police to investigate ways to expand drug driving tests.
Virginia police are reviewing roadside drug driving testing procedures so that they can find ways to test and analyze samples more quickly, said Neville (Lisa Neville), director of the state police department. Victoria government spent 26 million yuan to increase the number of roadside tests a year from 100000 to 150000.
In the new state, the number of drug-driving forces has increased significantly since the police expanded the mobile drg test.
New state police began testing marijuana, speeding and stimulants on the side of the road in 2007, conducting about 32000 roadside tests a year.
According to a problem report released by (NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research) of the New State Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, they can catch about 40 drug drivers a month until 2013.
However, when the roadside drug test program was significantly expanded, there was also a significant increase in the number of people caught.
When mobile drug testing increased to 97000 tests in 2015, the number of drug drivers caught each month soared to 466, the report said.
In February 2016, the number of take drugs arrested reached a peak of 1035.
In June 2015, the drug driving conviction rate in the new state even exceeded that of drunk driving, with the court`s prosecute rate of 98.3 per cent compared with 98.1 per cent for drunk driving.
New state police now conduct as many as 200000 roadside drug tests and alcohol breath tests a year, the new state police said on its website.
The new state also expanded the type of drug tested, including cocaine and metamphetamine.
According to the Herald Sun>reported, in the countryside of the new state and the state of the country, the phenomenon of metamphetamine also appeared in the road statistics.
The areas with the most toxic driving on the interactive map of the New State Department of Justice in 2015 are also affected by methamphetamine, such as Wollondilly, Port Macquarie, Kempsey and Wagga Wagga..
According to the Herald Sun, 2018 statistics in Victoria also show that rural communities such as Wodonga,Warrnambool,Bendigo,Traralgon,Wangaratta and Horsham, which are flooded with methamphetamine, are in the top 10.
"what you see is that the take drugs problem in rural areas is still obvious," Ryan said.
