Garda in Kilkenny left spooked by 'driverless' car on local road
An Garda Síochána are warning drivers in Kilkenny that 'a view of the road is not negotiable'
Gardaí in Kilkenny have taken to social media to raise awareness around an ongoing issue that they have been encountering.
"One of our lads, off duty, spotted a driverless VW Golf a few minutes ago just outside Kilkenny," a garda spokesperson posted earlier today (Friday).
"As the vehicle approached though, a young driver was peering over the steering wheel.
"This is a strange fashion and not at all wise. Manufacturers have made great efforts to ensure that their cars suit all shapes and sizes so that the drivers have a good view of the road ahead and proper control of their vehicle.
"It's not rocket science but safety awareness. Please ensure that however trendy you might like to look, a view of the road is not negotiable."
