Under S6A, where may tests be carried out?

• A. Only at a hospital
• B. At the scene or at the police station
• C. Only in court
• D. Only by a doctor

Answer: (B)

Tests under S6A are allowed to be carried out at the scene or at the police station. This setup allows immediate roadside screening to determine impairment and, if needed, more formal testing to take place at the station. It isn’t limited to hospitals, courts, or being done only by a doctor, which would slow enforcement or restrict who can administer the test. The aim is to enable timely, practical testing in the flow of policing and enforcement on the spot or shortly after arrest.
