    武漢警方首試“唾液查毒駕” 一專車女司機落網

    吸毒后駕車簡稱“毒駕”,危害程度較酒駕和醉駕更甚,而相對吹氣檢測而言,交警現場執法時想要快速確定毒駕證據并非易事。今年6月25日深夜至26日凌晨,武漢警方首次啟動“唾液試紙”查毒駕,執法效率大大提升,抓獲多名涉毒人員,一名專車女司機露出破綻落網。

    (ECNS) - Wuhan police have been using saliva tests to catch drivers under the influence of drugs. Multiple drivers and passengers have been caught red-handed, including one female carpool driver.

    The crackdown began last Thursday night and ended in the early hours of Friday in Wuhan city, capital of Central China's Hubei province. Equipped with saliva test papers, 15 police officers divided into three teams, setting up checkpoints along one street.

    Around 1am on Friday, a female carpool driver known by the alias Zhang Jing was caught driving under the influence of drugs. Carpool software was running on Zhang's cell phone, clearly showing the trip's starting point, destination, distance and fees.

    Initially, Zhang challenged the police and said she was unable to go to the toilet to provide a blood test. However, she was shocked when police said they would test for drugs by using a saliva sample.

    Zhang's test came back positive five minutes after the sample was supplied. Zhang admitted that she had signed up as a carpool driver in early 2015, working overtime after regular work was finished. Zhang became exhausted after consistent late nights and resorted to taking drugs to cope. "I would take a few (drugs) every night before driving. Otherwise I couldn't keep it up."

    In addition, two men, including one driver, were caught on the road after taking drugs. Another male passenger in a taxi also tested positive for drugs. All three men, as well as Zhang, were arrested, according to local police on Saturday. The two DUI drivers also had their licenses suspended.

    One piece of saliva test paper can detect up to three types of drugs, including methamphetamine, ketamine and morphine.

    By October 2013, 2,142 divers in Wuhan had their licenses suspended for driving under the influence of drugs, according to official data.
