The Victorian Police Minister, Lisa Neville, has flagged looking at drug testing in trucking companies as an area which needed urgent attention.
In an ABC article she quoted as saying: “[We need to] have a look at the settings in relation to trucks — driving hours, drug testing, but it will lead us down the path more broadly around what we need to do around drug-driving,” Ms Neville said.
“Whether it’s a truck driver, whether it’s a driver in the car, we know that more than half of our deaths on the road at the moment are because of drug-driving and we’re going to have to think as a community [about] doing something differently about this,” Ms Neville said.
