Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit arrested a learner driver at a (MIT) Mandatory Intoxicant Testing checkpoint after they failed the roadside oral fluid preliminary drug test, testing positive for cannabis.
While gardaí were dealing with this driver another vehicle approached the checkpoint and the driver did a U-Turn. This vehicle was stopped a few minutes later by another Garda Unit and it transpired the driver is disqualified from driving. The vehicle was seized and the driver will now face a court appearance.
