Gardaí will be using a new drug testing device on the roads of Ireland this Christmas.
The new device, which can test for a greater range of drugs at the roadside, was launched today at the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and An Gardai Síochána Christmas and New Year road safety appeal in University College Cork.
The new Securetec® Drugwipe 6s roadside drug testing device, which has been introduced by the Medical Bureau of Road Safety (MBRS) and rolled out to Gardaí across the country, works like an antigen test.
