3:36Now PlayingMotorists who fail roadside drug tests are being allowed to continue to drive for up to six months because of a backlog in testing confirmatory blood samples.
Some of those drivers have gone on to kill behind the wheel while their results are pending.
The backlog and delay have been described as "unacceptable" by the families of some of those who have died in accidents caused by drug-drivers on bail.
