Print PageA crackdown on drug drivers is expected to be next in the Victorian government's week of road safety announcements.
The government has released a flurry of road safety policies this week.
The individual policies are part of an overall road safety strategy the government is expected to release soon.
The Baillieu government is tipped to announce a crackdown on drug drivers on Thursday.
Asked how new penalties for texting while driving compare with tougher drug driving penalties, Roads Minister Terry Mulder said: "As I say, we'll wait until tomorrow until that comes out."
The road safety changes are in response to a government survey last September of more than 16,000 drivers.
Almost one in nine respondents supported more random testing for drug driving, while 86 per cent supported tougher penalties.
Earlier this week, the government announced anyone who records a blood alcohol level over 0.05 will be ordered to fit an interlock device to their car.
The government is also assessing technology that can measure the distances between cars or trucks on freeways in a bid to crackdown on tailgating.
