    I may seem like a impaired driver, searching for a slightly smoother spot to guide my truck over as i drive I-75. That road has been a piece of junk since, who knows when? 1980's? Wow. Smash equipment over severe bumps, then pull into the chicken coops for a safety inspection, and a drug test. As one post stated, they are broke $,. Most states, cities, and smaller towns are always searching for revenue. Guess who they pick, for a contribution.

    Unfortunately we have something called “implied consent”.

    Yeah, I’m just lucky I haven’t seen a scale in years and don’t have to log. I couldn’t deal with all the harassment you guys get.

    It is a saliva swab?

    Is that DOT approved?

    What happens when they say you're in big trouble mister you're under the influence and then the blood test says something different?

    None of this sounds right...

    I was wondering the same thing. How can they instantly tell but if I get pulled for a random I gotta go to urgent care, pee in a cup, and they don't get the results for like two days.
