Parliament adopted a traffic law under which a positive saliva test would establish drug influence, including for someone driving a bicycle. The law set a first drug-driving penalty of ten to twenty penalty units and six to twelve months’ licence disqualification.[1] Its explanatory memorandum described the drug-driving provisions as new; commencement required a ministerial notice.[1]
