As we head into 4th of July weekend, celebrations often bring an increase in impaired driving risks — and it’s not just about alcohol. Drug-impaired driving (DUID) poses a serious threat to road safety, especially during holiday travel.

NMS Labs supports law enforcement and safety initiatives with comprehensive DUID toxicology panels. Our testing covers the seven Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) drug categories, aligns with NHTSA priorities, and adheres to National Safety Council guidelines for impaired driving investigations.

Let’s work together to make this Independence Day safer for everyone.

As we return from the Memorial Day weekend, we’re reminded of the critical role law enforcement agencies play in keeping our roads safe from all forms of impaired driving. Alcohol isn’t the only risk factor - drug-impaired driving (DUID) can be just as dangerous. Proper testing is essential to detect and prevent these threats.

NMS Labs offers DUID toxicology panels that include the seven Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) drug categories and the priority drug groups identified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The panels also follow guidelines for drug-impaired driving investigations from the National Safety Council.
