Uninsured UK car seized after motorist parked in loading bay in Kilkenny city – right in front of a garda
A motorist without insurance had their car seized after they parked their car in a busy loading bay in Kilkenny city-centre right in front of an garda on duty.
A local garda spokesperson had some helpful advice for the hapless driver to the UK-registered vehicle.
Under a heading saying “You can’t park there mate!!”, the garda said on a social media post: “Top tip, if you’re driving a car with no insurance, don’t park it in a loading bay in front of a Garda on duty.
“One of our lads seized this UK registered vehicle 30 minutes ago after checking Irish and UK Insurance databases.”
The spokesperson added the driver, who has an address in Dublin, will get a chance “to sample Kilkenny again”, but “this time for a trip to the District Court”.
