Drug Driving Laws

In reply to the Hon. C. BONAROS (3 February 2021).

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services has advised:

South Australia Police (SAPOL) actively enforce drug driving laws through the random testing of drivers, the testing of drivers involved in vehicle collisions and drivers committing driving offences.

In 2018, drug driving laws were strengthened with increased penalties and the introduction of a mandatory loss of licence for a first drug driving offence.

The Statutes Amendment (Transport Portfolio) Bill 2020 is also currently being debated before parliament.
