A number of drivers were today issued with Fixed Charge Penalty Notices for speeding offences on the Four Lane Road in Letterkenny.
The road, which leads out of town towards Bonagee from the Polestar Roundabout, is governed by a 60kph speed limit.
Gardaí say the Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit conducted speed checks on the N56 Four Lane Road earlier today.
“A number of vehicles were detected travelling in excess of the 60kph speed limit in that area. Fixed Charge Penalty Notices were issued,” a Garda spokesperson said.
Meanwhile a driver was arrested on suspicion of drug driving today by Letterkenny Roads Policing Unit. They were initially pulled over after the ANPR system alerted Gardaí to the fact that their vehicle was not taxed. The driver then tested positive for cannabis. Test results are now awaited.
