A 39-year-old driver was apprehended on the Hume Highway on Friday afternoon, April 14, after he tested positive for methamphetamine (ice) in a mobile drug test.

Police took the man to Yass police station, where he was given another test that also returned a positive result for methamphetamine.

The motorist had his licence suspended for 24 hours.
