Two-seater car seized by Gardaí for bizarre reason
Fine issued to driver of vehicle
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.
