The vehicle driver, 33, was arrested for drug-impaired driving and transported to the RCMP detachment to complete a drug influence evaluation. A trained officer carries out that evaluation, using a 12-step test that involves both questions and psychophysical tests, including a blood or urine test to determine impairment.
