Употреба на наркотични вещества от водачи на моторни превозни средства в България (2020-2021 Г.)
Drug abuse by motor vehicle drivers in Bulgaria (2020-2021)

Summary/Abstract: This article presents a retrospective analysis of the results obtained from all preliminary and analytical data of case studies for drugs of abuse (DoA) by drivers in the Forensic Toxicology Laboratory (FTL) atMilitary Medical Academy - Sofia (MMA) during the period 2020-2021. A total of 1,975 drivers from 26Regional Directorates of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (RDMIA) were examined. A negative result for the DoA was obtained in 53.8% (1062 cases) of all examined persons, and in 12.3% of them (131 cases) the presence of DoA and/or metabolite/s was found only in the urine sample. A positive result for the DoA was proven in 46.2% (913 cases) of all examined persons. In 62.3% (410 cases) of all positive examinations for the DoA by motor vehicle drivers with prior information, a complete match between the test "on the road" and the laboratory testing was established and proved. Coincidence between these two results, but with established use of another DoA in the laboratory analysis, is found in 19.5% of all positive expertise with preliminary information (128 cases).
