Red light for drug-addicted drivers



Transport Minister Bimal Ratnayake says that the road license of drug-addicted drivers driving buses may also be revoked.

The minister said that drug-addicted drivers will not be employed in any way.

Drivers who use drugs while transporting passengers are currently being tested.

Under this, in addition to testing blood and urine samples, a pilot project to test saliva samples has also been implemented.
