I might come in on that point. Alcohol flushes through a person’s system faster. The test used to read “Pass”, “Fail” and “Zero”. If someone passed, there might be something in his or her system, but it was below the limit. Is the case with drugs the same? People take drugs and probably do not realise those have an effect on their systems. In a drugs test, is the fail level the level above which the Garda believes driving would be a problem?
