Taxi driver arrested for drug driving in Donegal

A taxi driver was arrested for drug driving just moments after dropping off a customer in south Inishowen.

Gardaí detected the driver at Burnfoot last week when they were on their way back to base.

The driver tested positive for cannabis and was also found to be in possession of the drug.

They were subsequently arrested by Buncrana Gardaí and will now face a court date.

Meanwhile, Gardaí in Letterkenny are urging road users to slow down and ‘arrive alive’ following a recent speeding incident.

A car was caught travelling at 135km per hour in a 100km/hr zone. Conditions were described as hazardous at the time due to heavy rainfall.
