PIC: Garda in Kildare stop and seize van with a staggering amount of things wrong with it

Rory Cashin

Yikes.

The Garda Traffic Corps have had their fair share of borderline unbelievable road stops.

Remember this one, with no licence but loads of extra drugs on board?

Or this one, with the open bottle of wine in the cup holder?

Or maybe this one, because the driver was committing one of the worst speeding offences of the year?

This new one is also a bit like a laundry list of stuff that every vehicle really SHOULDN’T have wrong with it, but here we are…

Insurance? Nope, not since August 2016.

Tax? Double nope, not since January 2014!

Cert of Road Worthiness? Ha! Nope.

Are the tyres okay, at least? Two of them are, sure. The other two, not so much.

Combined, that has wound the van driver in court.

In short, if your vehicle has this much wrong with it, maybe just take the bus?
