PEKANBARU, Riau: Public transportation drivers in Riau will have to take drug tests during the Idul Fitri celebrations in an effort to cut down on the number of road accidents during the holiday, a senior police officer said on Saturday.
The tests will be administered at the Mayang Terurai bus terminal in Pekanbaru, the capital of Riau province, said the head of the Riau Police's traffic division, Sr. Comr. Heru Purwanto.
Any drivers who fail the test will be replaced by a substitute driver, Heru said. -- JP
