Gardaí pull over car missing tires, licence and pretty much everything else

There’s a dent…

Gardaí pulled over a car on the M18 motorway last night (1 January) after it had been involved in two separate road collisions, but kept on driving.

The vehicle, which had been crushed in the rear, caught the attention of Ennis Traffic Corps since it was missing one tire, a licence plate, a rear-end light and windshield, or essentially the majority of those things that would make this a car.

According to the An Garda Síochána official Twitter page, the driver also had “no licence, no insurance and also failed roadside drug test.”

No motorists or passengers were reported to be injured, the Twitter account later confirmed. However, they were able to confirm that the driver can look forward to one “Big day out in court”.
