Gardaí from Buncrana Roads Policing Unit conducted Mandatory Intoxicant Testing (MIT) checkpoints last night in the Fahan and Culdaff areas.
Thankfully there were no offences detected, however, they warned their checks will continue over the course of the Bank Holiday weekend.
“Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Have a good weekend and stay safe on the roads,” a garda spokesperson said.
Bank Holiday weekends are traditionally high-risk periods for crashes related to speeding, alcohol and drugs.
So far this year, 69 lives have been lost on roads nationally, an increase of 16 on the same period last year.
Speed has been identified as a major contributory factor in the high number of fatalities.
The Road Safety Authority (RSA) said a survey has shown that one in four drivers think that speeding 10km over the limit is acceptable.
Nine new static speed cameras will be installed around the country and Gardaí have revealed their locations.
One is to be located east of Letterkenny, on the N14 Manor Roundabout to Lifford road.
