Two vehicles seized on Kildare roads for no insurance

Naas Roads Policing Unit recently came across a vehicle in Kildare that clearly had its priorities...lowered.

While attempting to mount a speed ramp, the vehicle instead demonstrated the practical limitations of style over substance.

Progress was slow, painful, and very public.

A quick chat with the driver revealed that the suspension wasn’t the only thing that had been dropped.

The vehicle was also not insured.

The vehicle had:

• No insurance

• No journey continuing

• The vehicle was seized on the spot.

A garda spokesperson stated: “A reminder to all motorists: if your car can’t handle a speed ramp, it’s probably not roadworthy. And if your paperwork can’t handle a checkpoint, neither are you.

Drive safe. Stay legal.”

Meanwhile, recently one ambitious driver decided the local carpark was the perfect stage to practice their “Fast & Furious” audition — right in front of a fully uniformed Garda.

Unfortunately for them, reality kicked in quicker than the handbrake:

The driver had:

• A learner permit holder

• No accompanying driver

• No valid insurance

• Plenty of confidence (misplaced)

#NaasRPU brought the performance to an early finale. The vehicle was seized under Section 41 RTA, with a summons on the way for dangerous driving and no insurance.
