DUI Drugs Analysis
As from the 2nd March 2015 there will be specified limits in the blood for a limited number of commonly used/abused drugs when it comes to cases of driving under the influence. In cases where the drug(s) are not covered by the specified limits set out in the Road Traffic Act Stan can help by being able to:
- Comment on the properties of any drugs found and whether the drugs could impair driving
- Interpret the significance of the concentration of the drug/s found in relation to any possible impairment
- Comment on the finding of drug/s in the blood or urine in the context of the last alleged consumption
It is important to note that there are no, and never will be, any specified limits for drugs in urine. That is because, once in the urine, a drug is no longer active (i.e. it will not be capable of exerting any effect) and there is no correlation between the amount of drug in the urine and that present in the blood. This area of interpretation is complicated and so needs an expert like Stan to help clients understand what any drug levels in urine may mean.
Please feel free to call Stan to discuss your case, whether the results you have are from the analysis of a blood sample or from the analysis of a urine sample.
