AB  - In December 2004, a new legislative framework for the random drug screening of 
      drivers modeled on the successful random alcohol screening methodology came into 
      force in Victoria, Australia. The new framework prohibits driving while 
      methamphetamine (MA), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), and cannabis, 
      delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), are present at any level in a driver's 
      specimen. This is enforced by police who have the legislative authority to 
      randomly drug test drivers for the presence of MA, MDMA, and THC by oral fluid 
      (saliva) sample screening at the roadside. This article outlines the new random 
      drug testing legislative framework and the drug testing procedures currently in 
      place in Victoria. This article also examines the data collected through the 
      operation of the framework for the first two years since implementation in 
      Victoria (December 2004-December 2006).
