Car Seized In Wicklow Being Driven By Learner Driver With No L Plates

Gardai are warning motorists, particularly learner drivers that they will seize vehicles that are not road worthy or displaying the correct information.

It follows the seizure of a vehicle in Wicklow three days ago, which was being driven by an unaccompanied learner driver, who had no L plates on display.

The vehicle was stopped in NewtownMountKennedy on Sunday and a further inspection of the vehicle found a front tyre on the car was completely worn and bald, and the driver of the car had been using a pliers to start the vehicle.

The car was seized and gardai say proceedings will follow.
