New License Rule: Drug Tests for Drivers!

The State of Quintana Roo's Mobility Institute (IMOVEQROO) is taking steps to improve transportation safety and quality. They've introduced a mandatory five-element toxicological test for those applying for a public service driving license.

Rodrigo Alcázar Urrutia, the general director of IMOVEQROO, stated that this measure is designed to enhance transportation services in the state and ensure the safety of users. This aligns with the New Agreement for the Welfare and Development of Quintana Roo, led by Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa.

This mandatory test applies to "B, C, and E" type licenses, which cover both public and private transport services. The goal is to protect the safety of both drivers and passengers.

The five-element toxicological test can detect harmful substances such as amphetamines, cannabinoids, cocaine, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines. These substances can impair neuro-motor functions, making their detection vital for ensuring safety on the roads.

As of now, the state has issued 9,843 public service licenses. IMOVEQROO is committed to fostering a culture of safety and well-being in both public and private transport.

The director of IMOVEQROO urged potential license applicants to act responsibly, emphasizing that this measure benefits everyone in Quintana Roo, including visitors. He concluded, "We are focused on the safety of all operators and users of public and private transportation services. Let's foster a culture of responsibility when applying for a license – it's for the well-being of us all."
