It should go without saying that this is illegal.

Gardaí confirmed through their official Twitter account that they arrested a driver who tested positive for all four drug test categories on Tuesday.

The driver, who was arrested in Cork, also wasn’t carrying a driver’s licence, and provided no evidence of insurance.

In a tweet published on Tuesday evening, Gardaí noted: “Midleton RPU stopped a driver who tested positive for all four drug categories and negative for a driving licence and insurance. Driver arrested and court to follow.”

Gardaí on Twitter included a photo of the test results.

While cannabis and cocaine might be familiar to most readers, benzodiazepines are a type of medication that are usually known as tranquillisers.

Opiates refer to modified forms of opium.
