While on duty in Sallins, An Garda Síochána Kildare's attention was caught by one particular motorist.

On closer inspection, Gardaí soon determined that the driver had:

  • No Insurance

  • No tax

  • No NCT

  • Was an unaccompanied learner driver

  • Had no 'L' plates displayed.

The driver's vehicle was seized and impound fees now apply.

Fixed Charge Penalty Notices (FCPNs) were also issued, and a court appearance is to follow.

A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána Kildare stated: “...have your vehicle road legal, insured, roadworthy. There’s no shortcut around it.”
