title: [Proposal of psychomotor skill assessment tests for drivers and a protocol for sampling and testing of saliva, blood and urine when there is reason to suspect involvement of substances with alcohol-like effect].
abstract: The paper proposes tests to assess psychomotor impairment in drivers suspected of using substances acting similarly to alcohol. The authors also present a proposal for the protocol to be used in sampling and testing of saliva, blood and urine when psychoactive substance abuse has been suspected. A detailed procedure is based on the joined experience of German, U.S. and Polish police from Gdansk. The purpose of the appendix is to help police officers to perform and document tests confirming psychomotor impairment, as well as to provide the basis for saliva, urine and blood analysis.
