Another busy day on Cumbria’s roads yesterday (1 April).
Our Op Spotlight highlight of the day was on the A590 near Hincaster.
At around 2.25pm, our officers pulled over a HGV.
The driver was subjected to a drugs wipe – which returned a positive result for cannabis.
The 38-year-old from the Morecambe area was arrested on suspicion of drug driving.
He was subsequently released under investigation to allow for time for blood test results.
Driving whilst impaired through drink or drugs is an incredibly dangerous decision which could easily result in innocent people losing their lives.
