Almost 400 motorists suspected of driving while high on drugs will escape prosecution because of a failure to process blood tests, it has emerged. A lack of capacity at police laboratories has led to the huge backlog of samples. In 386 cases, a prosecution has been abandoned because tests were not processed within a legal 12-month time limit.

It said the number of tests that would have to be processed had been significantly underestimated before new legislation to crack down on drug-driving came into force in 2019. It is expected that more cases will be dropped in the “immediate months ahead”, despite tests being sent to commercial providers in an effort to boost capacity.
