More Frequent Saliva Tests in Belgium: Towards Increased Road Safety
More Frequent Saliva Tests in Belgium: A Necessity for Safer Roads
The Belgian government is stepping up its efforts to make the roads safer for everyone. From now on, the police will be able to subject motorists to a saliva drug test more frequently, as reported by Het Nieuwsblad. This new measure is accompanied by an expansion of the list of signs that allow officers to carry out a check. This is essential to limit the risks associated with drug use while driving, both for drivers and for other road users.
Driving under the influence of illegal substances is a major danger for road safety. Every day in Belgium, no fewer than 36 drivers are caught under the influence of narcotics, risking fines of over 1,000 euros and the loss of their driving license. With the update of this legislation, new symptoms will be added to the list of criteria for carrying out a saliva test, thus increasing the number of drivers tested.

Fight Against New Synthetic Drugs
With the proliferation of new synthetic drugs and the use of laughing gas, it is increasingly crucial to develop complementary solutions for road safety. Although these substances are not yet all detectable by standard saliva tests, at AMA Prevention , we are at the forefront of innovation to develop tools capable of meeting these new challenges.
The Minister of Mobility also highlighted a second measure aimed at strengthening the application of sanctions. Foreign drivers, who are often more difficult to sanction, will now have to pay a deposit of 1,260 euros on the spot if they test positive, under penalty of having their vehicle seized by the police. This measure is a strong signal, aimed at dissuading anyone from taking to the road under the influence of psychotropic substances.
