A driver in North Cork who yesterday evening was clocked doing 121km/h while towing a trailer also failed a roadside drug test.
While conducting a high visibility speed checkpoint on M8 in Mitchelstown, Gardaí from the Roads Policing Unit detected a driver travelling at 121km/h – more than 40km/h in excess of the maximum permissible speed of a car towing a trailer on a motorway.
The driver also tested positive for cocaine and was arrested on suspicion of drug driving.
In a post on social media, Gardaí said a file is now being prepared.
“We are out there checking for speed and testing for alcohol and drugs to ensure our roads remain safe for all road users,” Gardaí added.
