Want a free drug test?

The ABC informs us that UC is going to do its own trial of roadside drug tests.

Are they going to be waving people down on the side of the road?

No, they’re going to set up shop with police RBT stations and alcohol tested drivers will then be asked to help out the UC research.

Does anyone have any faith in this methodology? If you were baked would you volunteer for a test?

i probbaly would, except for the issue of the cops likely to be booking people who ARE munted.
that, and i don’t misbehave much any more.

whos running the book for the police folk who run the RBT’s, to see if they can pick the idiots driving off their tits?

Heard the good doctor from the ANU on radio samuel yesterday discussing this research program.

Even if you’re not baked, who’s gunna want to fuck around for another 5 minutes (at least) after you’ve had your trip interrupted for the RBT? And fill in a form to boot.

They’ll probably get the 100 samples they’re after but it’ll take longer than they think. And it will tell them fuck all (100 drug free samples).
