Belgians are always more stoned behind the wheel?

Never were more licences will be requested after a positive speekseltest than in 2012.

In the last few years was the call for an extension of the classic alcohol increasingly louder. After all, there are more drugs than alcohol, also in Belgenland. The speekseltest provides herein, and that this is not entirely unnecessary to prove the figures: last year were in the south, according to the Gazet van Antwerpen 2.552 driving licences recovered due to a combination of stoned/high driving, 10% more than the year before.

We can conclude from this that the Belgians stuffkikkers, and there are more drugs to be consumed before behind the wheel? No. It may also have to deal with more intensive checks, reducing the probability of detection increases. Maybe we should take the rulings of magistrate Peter D’hondt that he the number of drug-related offences in magistrates ‘ court “spectacular rise” so with a grain of salt.

It is positive that the number of occupied driving licence due to alcohol has declined (-5.500 driving licences), although this is still a multiple of the drug-related intakes. For the record: a speekseltest does not work by means of the on-duty agent(e) in his/her face to spit, this is usually not appreciated.

Also in the Netherlands would be the speekseltest introduced last year (as in 2007….), however, I have not yet encountered. Have you all ever one should do?
