GARDAÍ seized a car from a food delivery driver in Laois for a litany of traffic offences today.

The driver was a learner permit holder with no insurance, tax or NCT and the car had a ‘severely’ bald tyre.

The motorist also had no L plates and was not accompanied by a qualified driver.

Portarlington and Mountmellick gardaí were out on patrol when they stopped and seized the Vokswagen (pictured) in Portarlington.

Posting a photo on the An Garda Síochána Laois Offaly social media page, gardaí said the vehicle was being driven without insurance while 'out delivering food in the locality'.

They said: ‘The driver of the vehicle was also a learner permit holder and driving without a full licence driver or L plates. 

'There was a severely bald tyre on the vehicle, as well as no tax or NCT.’ 

Fines and summonses for a court appearance will follow.
