Post-Accident Tests. a. Alcohol and controlled substance tests shall be conducted as soon after an accident as practicable on any driver: 1) Who was performing safety-sensitive functions with respect to the vehicle, if the accident involved loss of human life; or 2) Who received a citation under state or local law for a moving traffic violation arising from the accident. (49 CFR 382.303.) b. Drivers shall make themselves readily available for testing, absent the need for immediate medical attention. (49 CFR 382.303.) c. No such driver shall use alcohol for eight hours after the accident, or until after he/she undergoes a post-accident alcohol test, whichever occurs first. (49 CFR 382.209.) d. If an alcohol test is not administered within two hours or if a drug test is not administered within 32 hours, the District shall prepare and maintain records explaining why the test was not conducted. Tests will not be given if not administered with eight hours after the accident for alcohol or within 32 hours for drugs. e. Tests conducted by authorized federal, state or local officials will fulfill post-accident testing requirements provided they conform to applicable legal requirements and are obtained by the District. Breath tests will validate only the alcohol test and cannot be used to fulfill controlled substance testing obligations. (49 CFR 382.303.)
