A DAY in court beckons for a drug driver caught on a major road in Bradford.

Officers from West Yorkshire Police's Operation Steerside Team stopped a vehicle on Queens Road.

A spokesperson from the team said: "The driver was observed apparently smoking cannabis.

"They seemed surprised to get pulled over.

"They provided a positive drugs wipe test at the roadside and then failed to provide a blood sample in custody.

"A day in court now beckons."

The Steerside Enforcement Team works across Bradford district, deploying officers seven days a week in cars and on bikes. 

Operation Steerside was launched in 2016 specifically to tackle dangerous and anti-social driving in Bradford and evolved two years later into a multi-agency partnership to tackle crimes on the roads.
