Abstract

In France, a recent law has instituted systematic narcotics screening in cases of fatal road accidents. Even though the results can be used by the magistrate to determine the judicial consequences to be given to this matter, no specific offence has been created. The data gathered following the setting up of this new measure will allow a vast epidemiological survey to be carried out, the conclusions of which, expected at the end of 2004, will enable legislation to be introduced on the issue of driving while under the influence of narcotics. This law and the setting up of the study have aroused and continue to arouse numerous debates which this presentation proposes to pick up and replace in the current French context.
