Checkpoints Ireland: Gardai make four major discoveries after 'stopping this car' belonging to lying driver

Gardai were right to act on their suspicions when they stopped this driver following a huge discovery on the roads overnight.

Officers quizzed the person behind the wheel who told them that they had forgotten their licence when asked for ID by Gardai.

But a quick investigation on their Garda database helped the members make four huge discoveries about the lying driver.

They found out that they in fact had no licence at all, as well as no insurance, NCT or tax on the vehicle.

The car was seized by Gardai and the driver has since been charged.

Taking to social media, a spokesman for Gardai said: "We recently stopped the driver of this car.

"Driver told Gardaí that their licence was at home.

"Quick check on the app showed that the driver had no licence, no insurance, no NCT, no tax.

"Vehicle no longer on the road as seized by Gardaí & a court appearance for the driver."
