Cork Has A Drug Driving Problem
That's according to Brian Farrell of the Road Safety Authority
Last month Gardai revealed that the number of roadside drug driving detections is almost on a par with the numbers arrested for drink driving.
Cannabis and cocaine are among the most common drugs being detected in drivers’ samples.
Anyone convicted of drug driving can face a disqualification of up to four years, if their driving has been impaired by drugs including cannabis, cocaine, heroin and prescription drugs.
Speaking to RedFM News Brian Farrell of the RSA says drug driving is becoming a more significant problem in Cork
