Can An Gárda Síochána conduct roadside testing for drugs and alcohol in the mornings?

Correct Answer

Yes; they can check at any time.

Explanation: It is against the law to drive a car; motor bike; truck; bus; pedal bike or an animal-drawn vehicle while ?under the influence of an intoxicant to such an extent as to be incapable of having control of the vehicle?. Intoxicants include alcohol and drugs; whether taken separately or together. The word ?drugs? here includes legal prescribed and over-the-counter (OTC) medicines.
