- A study analyzed 10,064 oral fluid samples from Spanish drivers suspected of driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) between 2013 and 2015, mainly focusing on young males aged around 30.
- Findings showed a very high confirmation rate (98.5%) of positive roadside drug tests, with cannabis (82.4%) and cocaine (42.1%) as the most frequently detected substances.
- The profile of a typical DUID driver was identified as a young male who commonly used cannabis alone or in combination with cocaine, with the on-site testing device demonstrating high sensitivity and specificity in detecting drug use.
