Gardai offer advice after seizing truck in Laois

A truck driver stopped in Laois on suspicion of holding a mobile phone earlier today was found to be uninsured.

Gardai took to social media to issue some advice following the incident in the Mountrath area.

“Whilst driving a HGV that is neither taxed, insured or roadworthy. It would be wise not to draw attention to yourself by using a mobile phone while driving and failing to wear a seat belt,” Gardai advised. 

They said the vehicle was seized by Laois Roads Policing Unit in Mountrath. Fixed Charge Notices have been issued and court proceedings were commenced, Gardai said.
