Drugs

It is illegal to drive while under the influence of certain drugs. If a Garda suspects you of doing this, they may arrest you. You will then have to give a blood or urine sample to be tested for the presence of any drugs (prescription and non-prescription). If they are present, you may be convicted of driving while under the influence of an intoxicant.
