Summary The results are reported investigating the use of saliva analysis as a research tool in determining drug usage by drivers who have not been involved in crashes. The research shows that saliva analysis is a valid research method for screening for a wide variety of drugs with the potential to impair driving skills, in a non - invasive and more easily obtainable manner than would be the case for blood and/or urine samples. In addition, details are provided of drug findings from the first 618 saliva samples from a related survey of truck drivers, bus drivers and general population drivers. Driving. Saliva. Drug testing.
