Of all the things that could be done to ensure road/highway safety, this is laughable......a waste of time, money and resources.....unless of course
one of the doctors is a Proctologist.

"The exams consist review of vital signs, blood pressure, reflexes to the test sample to verify that are not under the influence of drugs."
This can't be mandatory even in Mexico

I wonder what they're really hunting for? Some sort of bio threat? Or just boosting arrest stats.
