“A poor decision when it comes to road safety could cause you a lifetime of regret” – that’s the warning issued by Gardaí today following the detection of a drug-driver in Letterkenny.

A motorist was caught driving under the influence of cannabis during a roadside test on Monday 29th April.

The vehicle was first stopped by the Roads Policing Unit for having a possible defect. The driver was subsequently tested for the presence of drugs and the test came back positive for cannabis.

The driver has been ordered to appear in court in the near future.

The incident sparked a warning from local gardaí, who posted on Facebook: “PLEASE do not ever drive with drink/drugs in your system. Have due regard for the safety of other road users who deserve to make it home safely. A poor decision when it comes to road safety could cause you a lifetime of regret!!!”
