The heat rose for two learner drivers in Waterford recently when their vehicles were seized by Gardai.

Members attached to Tramore Garda Station were carrying out a checkpoint during the recent extremely warm spell when they observed two unaccompanied learner drivers.

In an online post, the GardaĆ­ noted: “Although it was a lovely day for a drive, you must have a licenced driver with you if you are a learner driver.”

“Two drivers had their cars seized today under Section 41 RTA,” stated the GardaĆ­ in their post.

“Court proceedings to follow,” they added, before reminding motorists to “know the law, don’t take the risk”.
