The DrugWipe Game of Chance

Guilty when proven innocent.

You've never taken an illegal drug.

Under New Zealand's new roadside testing regime, you could still be fined $400, banned from driving for 12 hours, and put on a path to a criminal conviction.

For something you didn't take.

Walk through the real testing process, step by step, and see where the system can fail you.

The DrugWipe device has a false positive rate of up to 1 in 6 per test. With two consecutive tests, up to 4% of innocent drivers will fail both. Police are required to conduct 50,000 tests per year. That's up to 2,000 people banned from driving every year, for drugs they never took.
