It's like a breathalyser for drugs (A4 poster)
It’s illegal to drive if either: you’re unfit to do so because you’re on legal or illegal drugs, you have certain levels of illegal drugs in your blood (even if they have not affected your driving). Legal drugs are prescription or over-the-counter medicines. If you’re taking them and not sure if you should drive, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or healthcare professional. The police can stop you and make you do a ‘field impairment assessment’ if they think you’re on drugs. This is a series of tests, for example asking you to walk in a straight line. They can also use a roadside drug kit to screen for cannabis and cocaine.
