  3. Yes, in all cases.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, in all cases.

Yes. Driving with drugs in your system is a very serious violation. Once the penalty is final, you lose 6 points, whether you are driving in the city or on a road outside it. Testing positive is enough, even if you are driving normally.
