Nope, I heard that Perth had sent up a few Police to do this along the Brand Highway until the end of Christmas. I have traveled to Perth many times and not seen anything.

Random Drug testing

I reckon that one should expect it when they least expect it.

Hell Yea. I got tested 4 times when I was at leavers, with all being negative. They had a huge road block a few Ks south of Busselton and they were testing heaps of people.

Well I was DD most of the time and I got drug and alcohol tested everytime cause we had everyone in the car. We even had our car searched for drugs when we parked at the Leavers only area!

I was under the impression that it was also to be a random thing just like RBT`s , but after asking around a bit it seems not many people have faced a test, be it random or under suspicion. Perhaps the system is still ramping up.
