Two-seater car seized by Gardaí for bizarre reason

Gardaí were on patrol when they spotted something unusual with the vehicle. 

The two-seater hatchback was carrying a passenger in the boot!

The vehicle was stopped and seized by Pearse Street Gardaí in Dublin. 

It was also found that the car had no tax for 400 days.

A Fixed Charge Penalty Notice was also issued. 

It's the law that a driver or passenger in a car must wear your seat belt at all times, no matter how long or short the journey is.

A collision can happen in a split second and even hard braking can cause you serious injury if a seat belt is not being worn. 

The Road Safety Authority says: 

  • only travel in a vehicle where you have your own seat and seat belt  
  • never share a seat belt with another passenger  
  • never travel in a vehicle that’s overcrowded.
