A driver was stopped for speeding on the M50 overnight - and then tested positive for cannabis.
Gardai this morning told how the motorist was stopped after being detected breaking the speed limit on Dublin's busy ring road - and was then arrested on suspicion of drug driving.
The official Garda Siochana Twitter account posted a photograph of a reading which showed that the driver tested positive for cannabis, Dublin Live reports.
They tweeted: "DMR (Dublin Metropolitan Region) Garda RPU (Roads Policing Unit) detected the driver of a car on the M50 in excess of the speed limit.
"Driver arrested on suspicion of drug driving. Proceedings to follow."
The post ends with a warning to motorists: "Never drive under the influence."
Unfortunately for one driver in Rathmines, that cautionary message came too late - as the below tweet shows.
Road cops were busy in neighbouring Co Kildare yesterday too, with An Garda Siochana's Naas Roads Policing Unit on a checkpoint yesterday seizing three three cars after they were found to have no insurance.
