00:00A nitrous oxide breathalyser, believed to be the first of its kind in the world, is being trialled by police
00:06forces across the UK, with West Yorkshire Police now taking part.
00:10The Bradford District of the force have been seeing if the kit can be used to detect the Class C
00:16drug through a roadside breath test.
00:18It's currently non-enforceable, but if the trial is successful, it could see motorists prosecuted for drug-driving offences in
00:26the future.
00:27The device takes a reading of the amount of nitrous oxide particles per million in any sample of breath.
00:34The project is funded by the Office of the Police Chief Scientific Advisor, with the support of the National Police
00:41Chiefs Council.
