Naas Roads Policing Unit recently stopped a vehicle in Prosperous, Co Kildare, and uncovered a range of driving offences.
The driver had:
- No tax;
- No insurance;
- Was an unaccompanied learner permit holder;
- No L plates;
- Two children in the back with no seatbelts on.
A collision at 50km/h would have transformed the back seat into a scene of tragedy.
The vehicle was seized immediately and €640 in fixed charge notices were issued, along with three penalty points.
A court appearance will follow in Naas for having no insurance.
A garda spokesperson said: “Some people think road laws are about paperwork. They’re not. This is about saving lives.”
