Drug test for driving license applicants a waste of money – Sotto

The mandatory drug testing for applicants of driver’s licenses is an added financial burden to responsible motorists and a failed anti-drug campaign of the government, Sen. Vicente Sotto 3rd said Sunday.

Sotto, who authored the Senate’s version of the anti-drunk and drugged driving act which was recently signed by President Benigno Aquino 3rd, made the observation following the pronouncement of Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief Virginia Torres that the agency will retain the drug testing requirement for driver’s license applicants.
