Nearly 400 drivers in Hai Duong were tested for health and drugs on the first day.

Drivers watch drug testing process

From October 10-20, at Hai Duong International General Clinic, the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee organized health check-ups and drug tests for drivers.

On the first day of inspection, 400 drivers working at enterprises, cooperatives, and households transporting passengers and goods by car were tested for health and drugs.

Drivers declare information before inspection

Drivers coming for health check-ups and drug testing will be instructed on how to take a test sample, fill in information, be given a code, given a urine sample tube, and perform the test.

The process of drug testing for drivers is carried out strictly step by step. Each urine sample of the driver for drug testing will give results within 5 - 10 minutes. If the result is negative, the driver will receive the results and be allowed to leave. In case of a positive result, the drug crime investigation police force will investigate, clarify and have a plan to handle according to regulations.

Drivers get a code to check health and drugs

This is the 9th year that the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee has organized health check-ups and drug testing for drivers. All cases that test positive for drugs are strictly handled according to regulations. This helps to raise the responsibility of transport units and businesses and the awareness of drivers to comply with the law when operating vehicles.

In the 2023 inspection, Hai Duong discovered 7 drivers testing positive for drugs.

In the first 9 months of 2024, Hai Duong traffic police fined 16 cases of drivers testing positive for drugs while still working, with a total fine of 140 million VND.
