Earlier this week, another motorist was stopped on Irish roads after they were found to be committing a multitude of offences while being high on drugs.
The dangerous driver was stopped by Gardaí in Roscommon on Monday after a quick scan found no tax, insurance or NCT. Once the driver was pulled over, Gardaí conducted a roadside drugs test and the irresponsible driver tested positive for cocaine and opiates, which could from heroin or powerful pain relievers such as Oxycontin.
The car was immediately seized, the driver was arrested, and a court date will follow.
