About this listen

AA believes it'll be difficult to conduct the new roadside drug tests at the same volume as alcohol tests.

From December, Police across Wellington can do random roadside saliva tests – screening for cannabis, methamphetamine, MDMA, and cocaine.

The rollout will begin throughout the rest of the country from April.

Drivers testing positive will need to do a second test that checks for 25 substances.

AA Road Safety Spokesperson Dylan Thomsen told Ryan Bridge the test takes three to five minutes to complete.
