Donegal Gardaí continue to urge motorists to drive safely and responsibly.
A further road death this week brought the figure of deaths for this year so far to the collective total for all of last year.
Buncrana Roads Policing Unit were accompanied by RSA Officers yesterday at some of their checkpoints.
A number of vehicles were stopped and various offences were detected.
In one instance a Fixed Charge Penalty Notice was issued for a badly worn tyre.
As a result the driver was prohibited from further travel until the defect was remedied.
As well as this they detected a driver holding a mobile phone while driving.
The driver then failed the roadside oral fluid preliminary drug test, testing positive for opiates and was arrested.
