Seven cases of driving motor vehicles under the influence of drugs emerged yesterday during police checks.
Six motorists were found positive in preliminary drug tests conducted by members of Paphos Traffic Police, while the seventh driver was detected during checks conducted by members of Famagusta Traffic Police.
In addition to the positive result in the drug test, three drivers (Paphos district) were found to be driving their vehicles without a safety certificate, driver's licence and certificate of fitness.
The Police reminds once again that substances such as drugs and alcohol have been proven to contribute to the reduction of mental and psychological effort exerted while driving and reduce the performance of the driver's skills, thus increasing the risk of causing a road traffic collision.
