Hi all The UKPT has been contacted from time to time by people whose job was in jeopardy due to their inability to provide a sample. Similarly, prisoners (or their solicitor) get in touch because parole is in jeopardy also. So to see that the Government is keen to have a saliva test in place in 2009 for use by the police is good news. Subject to the cost compared to urine testing, it may signal the end of urine testing, or at least make saliva testing an acceptable or mandatory option. The full story is in the Independent of Friday 21 Nov page 15. or at http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/motorists-to-face-roadside-drug-tests-planned-1028241.html cheers Andrew
