An uninsured van driver who was caught speeding half an hour after they bought the vehicle is facing prosecution before the courts, gardai have revealed.
The incident, on the M1 in County Louth, is one of two incidents which have been highlighted by members of the Dundalk Roads Policing Unit in the Wee County.
"The driver of the BMW was stopped in Ardee and stated he was going to buy insurance the next day. They had the vehicle for a month," said a garda spokesperson.
Both motorists will face prosecution before the courts and face a potential driving ban if convicted.
