This dangerously modified car had three major safety concerns
Gardaí took to social media to share this photo of a dangerously modified vehicle that was spotted in Westmeath.
The driver was caught trying to turn away from a checkpoint in Mullingar on Monday February 10.
"The car was too low to the ground, had dangerously stretched out tyres and windows that were tinted too dark," Gardaí reported.
"And the cherry on top: it had been untaxed for 1000 days," Gardaí added.
The car was seized and court is to follow, according to Gardaí.
