Poll: Do we need better testing of drug-drivers?
Ministry of Transport has said better testing is urgently needed as "an important part of making our roads safer".
In 2018, 71 people were killed in crashes where a driver was found to have drugs or medication in their system, which could have impaired their driving.
It is said that in order for testing to be effective, it has to be conducted at "sufficiently intense levels and in a highly visible manner".
