'Where do we start?'- Gardaí stunned as they stop driver for four offences in one go

Gardaí in Kilkenny were left stunned on Monday when they stopped the driver of a pick-up truck and discovered they were breaking four different road traffic offences.

"Where do we start?" gardaí began a post on the Waterford/Kilkenny/Carlow Division Facebook page.

They went on to explain that the driver stopped by a Roads Policing Unit in Callan, Co Kilkenny, was driving with no licence and no insurance. They also found their tax was 710 days out of date.
