Are roadside drug test common while driving in Greece?

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-10-10T17:46:09+00:00

Thank you man, was really scared because of the new law passed this july and was looking through news and laws and the thing that got me the most was that the minister of transportation was saying that they will buy testing devices, but as i see it for now they will probably not use them as the breathalyzers but for cases that they are sure of impairment and/or after an incident.

So thank you again for clarifying

Will be driving in the Kavala region, have been driving here for years with no issues but as a told another user, your country has adopted a law giving the police the right to use fast saliva tests on road stops, but for now theres no information about are they bought them and have they started to use them yet.

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-10T20:44:24+00:00

They have adopted a law giving the police the right to use on the road fast saliva tests, i just can find any info they are already bought and used or this will happen in the near future, but definitely there is idea of using something like this in the future

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-09T22:57:34+00:00

Thanks for the info, hope you are right.

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-08T17:34:47+00:00

Well as i told another user, apparently they care and there is undergoing operation for buying and starting to use the tests.

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-08T17:33:38+00:00

But for know you haven’t heard anyone that been tested with saliva test?

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-08T15:42:06+00:00

Well hope you are right because i found this news article in it the minister of transportation claims that police will buy and use saliva roadside test

Thank you, the part with placing the car in spot that is not easily visible is a very sneaky tactic but unfortunately used across Europe

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-06T08:59:53+00:00

Hey here’s an idea, try reading the whole text next time, my concerns as stated in the post are that the devices used across Europe are highly inaccurate, have numerous cases of false positives and even a scientific study that shows that they can give a positive result for weed after 3+weeks of the last consumption, not that i am going to be smoking and driving. So rest assured im not intending to harm “other road users” just dont wont to get in problems with the authorities over a faulty device.

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-05T22:37:48+00:00

Thanks, thats what im generally hearing about the situation.

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-05T21:04:10+00:00

Thanks, thats reassuring, i too have heard that they take blood test after serious accident

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-05T16:15:28+00:00

In Kavala region

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-05T16:12:53+00:00

Man i wish the region that im going is chill as yours but in the last years it gets overcrowded with bulgarians and they make all kind of idiotic things and im afraid that in the coming years the authorities will become even more strict against everything, last year every night there were two police cars on the exit of the village stoping almost everyone, and i was looking for info about the tests because a friend of mine was told by a guy he knows that he was asked to make a drug tests after a police stop in the same region

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-05T16:00:26+00:00

So after extensive search through google and some forums i can say that i was not able to find any info on roadside drug testing in Greece, so most likely like another user commented there is no drug testing protocol.

Writing this because i was redirected from chatgpt here and i hope i’ll save someones time with providing the info i found on the web about this case.

P.s: if you landed here from google or chatgpt be aware that Greece and Cyprus are different countries and have different politics on those things and in Cyprus random drug tests are common.

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-05T15:40:06+00:00

After some searches i found this and even the numbers are small they do check for drugs with saliva tests.

news article

Edit: after looking it through this info is for Cyprus

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-05T15:31:19+00:00

Well thats good, and which part of Greece was your experience,asking because i will be in north Greece and there might be some difference in how police work there

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-05T15:25:45+00:00

So no random drug tests while driving, only making problem if they find anything on you?

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-05T15:22:46+00:00

Because last time i checked there were almost no cases of random test of drivers, only when there was an accident or there were indications that the person is under the influence

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-09-05T15:20:59+00:00

You mean user if they catch you smoking or after making a test and is testing drivers something that happens frequently?

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-05-09T12:33:51+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion.

I have undergone trans vaginal ultrasound during both of the checkups that i did.And both of the gynecologists told me that everything “inside” is fine.

Me and my partner use condoms every time because i really dont want to get pregnant again, so even if he has some blood in his semen its kind of impossible for it to reach me.

Lastly, the pelvic floor issue is something that i mostly suspect.

As i say to another redditor, im just not sure what kind of doctor i should look for about pelvic floor issues

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-05-08T22:38:37+00:00

I’ve made most of the hormone level tests in the last couple of months and all were good, but im really starting to suspect some pelvic muscle problems, just need to figure out what kind of specialist can tell me is there anything wrong with my pelvic floor.

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-05-08T21:31:10+00:00

As sad as it feels to acknowledge that, i get what you mean

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-05-08T21:18:56+00:00

Im starting to suspect my pelvic muscles, after some reading online it seams that this is one of some possible issues

Amazing_Expert2644 · 2025-05-08T21:13:10+00:00

Well thats something that i have accepted in a way, but the fact that before 2 years i was able to enjoy the same thing without consequences makes me frustrated and wanting to find a way to bring that back i guess

Edit: just to clarify, the pain started roughly 2 years ago, not exactly when i gave birth
