Motorist fails roadside breath test after being caught doing almost DOUBLE the speed limit in Finglas

A motorist is to be banned from driving due to failing a roadside breath test - after being caught nearly doubling the speed limit.

Gardai nabbed the driver who was travelling at 114km/h in a 60km/h zone in Finglas,Dublin.

Officers in Blanchardstown then arrested the motorist after they failed a breath test.

Gardai said the driver subsequently provided a test at the station, and that the suspect will be fined and disqualified from driving.

A garda tweet said: "Roads Policing Unit Blanchardstown conducting speed checkpoint in Finglas , detected driver doing 114kms in 60kms zone.

"Driver failed roadside breath test and arrested and provided breath test at station. Driver will receive a fine and a disqualification."

And they weren't the only driver caught breaking the law over the weekend, as a driver caught in the bus lane was found to have cannabis in their system.

They now face a court date.
