Police Sniff Out Cannabis at the Wheel
Officers say the smell of cannabis hit them as soon as they approached the car. The driver flunked a roadside drug test and was found carrying cannabis. His test was immediately cancelled, and he was taken into custody.
Cop Slams Dangerous Drug Driving
Roads Policing Insp Simon Wilson said: “Although some might find it funny that someone was arrested during their driving test, drug driving is deadly serious. “The brake light wasn’t working, putting everyone at risk. After speaking with the driver, it was clear we had bigger concerns.”
