A 'DRUG driver' was arrested after testing positive for cannabis on the roadside last night, according to police.
Traffic officers were conducting routine patrols on Belmont Road, Bolton, on September 3, when they spotted a silver VW Golf travelling at 40mph in a built-up area.
After stopping the motorist, police then administered a drug test on him. He failed, testing positive for cannabis - and he was later arrested.
