Taking alcohol or any other prohibited substance before driving can land you in trouble with the law. There are random tests done on drivers to detect cases of DUI. One of the most common drug tests done on drivers is the saliva test to detect THC. If you are arrested, you can regain your freedom by posting a bail bond as you await your trial.
While DUI tests require a certain level of alcohol for successful conviction, a drug test has no minimum amount of level for conviction. Once you test positive for the prohibited drugs, you are immediately arrested and taken before a judge to answer charges. A lot of questions are often asked by drivers concerning the random drug testing on the roads.
The following are some of the frequently asked questions:
- What are the specific drugs tested?
- Are there DUI caused by other related drugs and how are they tested?
- Can I be allowed to drive after I test positive for drugs?
- Is the test mandatory and what happens if I refuse to be tested?
- Will the officers test my blood?
Authorities carry out various tests to detect THC, cannabis, methylamphetamine, and MDMA. You may be asked by a uniformed officer to undergo a test to determine the presence of any of those drugs in your system. In case you test positive for any of the drugs, you will be arrested and charged with DUI.
The arresting officer will determine whether you can still drive even after testing positive for the drugs. You will need at least 24 hours before your body gets rid of the drugs in its system. And as such, the arresting officer may be forced to immobilize you or take your car keys away.
Resisting the random drug or blood test is a great offense. If you are involved in a road accident and you are above 10 years, you will be subjected to mandatory blood tests the moment you are admitted to the hospital. Get the services of a licensed bail bondsman from your area if you are arrested for the DUI offense.
