A pair of drug drivers were caught by Letterkenny Gardaí today – including a motorist who was filming his driving whilst behind the wheel.
Gardaí from the Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit detected a number of speeding offences on the Dual Carriageway this afternoon, with one of the drivers caught speeding also testing positive for cannabis. He was subsequently arrested.
A second drug driver was caught after he was spotted holding his mobile phone above the steering wheel, with Gardaí saying it later transpired that he was videoing his driving behind the wheel.
That driver also tested positive for cannabis and was arrested.
Fines and potential court dates will now face the two drivers, as Donegal Gardaí have urged motorists to be responsible – especially as the weather continues to get better.
“The roads are likely to be busy over the course of the weekend as the good weather has finally arrived. Help prevent serious injury or fatal collisions on the roads by being a responsible driver. Never take any type of risks where road safety is concerned,” they said following the arrests.
