Gardaí say the tractor was untaxed for over a decade and uninsured

Gardaí in the midlands say a young teenager was driving an uninsured tractor which had no tax in almost 11 years. 

“Gardaí in Co. Westmeath came upon this tractor the other evening being driven by a 14 year old with a 13 year old passenger.

It was uninsured and hadn’t been taxed in just short of 11 years,” Gardaí said on social media.

“You must be 16 years of age or above and licensed to drive a tractor,” they warned.
