As if that wasn’t enough, the car wasn’t even insured.

A motorist in Kerry was arrested after being caught doing ‘doughnuts’ and subsequently crashing into another vehicle in an attempt to evade Gardaí.

A picture of the vehicle in question was posted on the Garda Traffic Twitter account on Monday evening, with both the front and rear doors of one side of the vehicle heavily scratched as a result.

The driver of the car was arrested and charged with dangerous driving and for having no insurance and will appear in court at the end of November.

Stage 1 of the 2017 Banna Beach Resort Kerry Winter Mini Stages Rally took place over the weekend.

Footage that surfaced after the event showed the incredibly cool reactions of Michael Ray Stack and Jonathan Folan after their car collided with a ditch and rolled over; judging by their response in the immediate aftermath of the crash, they escaped pretty much unharmed.
