One driver was stopped for no headlights, while a learner was found unaccompanied

Gardaí in Dundalk have seized two vehicles following separate incidents involving breaches of road traffic legislation.

In the first incident, gardaí observed a motorist driving without headlights, prompting them to intervene.

Further checks revealed the driver had no insurance.

The car was subsequently seized, and a prosecution is expected to follow.

In a separate case, Gardaí stopped a second car being driven by a learner permit holder who was unaccompanied and not displaying L plates.

It also emerged that the individual was delivering food at the time, meaning they required insurance cover for commercial use rather than a standard social and domestic policy.

The vehicle was seized at the scene, with Gardaí confirming that proceedings will be brought for both learner permit violations and driving without insurance.
