Waterford driver with fake licence tests positive for drugs

Gardaí in Waterford have commenced court proceedings against a driver stopped with a fake licence in the county at the weekend.

The driver was pulled in at a checkpoint at high speed on Saturday and was found to be using a fake licence.

Gardaí discovered the car had no tax and the driver was driving without insurance. 

They later tested positive for cannabis and were arrested on suspicion of drug driving. 

Gardaí will now prosecute the driver in court.
