A drug driver was arrested in the Letterkenny area this week after testing positive for cannabis.
The arrest was made by the Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit on Tuesday.
The unit was in action at the Dual Carriageway, where several motorists were clocked speeding. Notable high speeds included 133km/hr, 126 km/hr and 125 km/hr. A number of Fixed Charge Penalty Notices were issued.
Gardaí took to Facebook last night to urge motorists to slow down and know the risks on the roads: “There is always a risk as a driver/passenger of being involved in a collision when out on the roads. We urge all drivers to play their part in reducing that risk by choosing to drive safely. Slow down. Do not ever get behind the wheel when you have alcohol/drugs in your system. Please make wise decisions where road safety is concerned and help save lives.”
