As part of a number of extra road checks on National Slow Down Day, Gardai in Clare caught out one driver for missing a number of crucial things - including a seat belt.
Clare Roads Policing were conducting a speed check in Kilmurry and detected a car doing 79km/h in a 50km/h area.
That in itself could land the driver three penalty points and a fine - but then things got an awful lot worse.
The driver turned out to have no licence, insurance, tax, NCT and no seat belt!
The vehicle was seized, a number of fines were issued and now a court date will follow.
The campaign kicked off this morning at 7am, and Gardai have already clocked up a number of speeding instances, with more expected throughout the night.
Within the first two hours of monitoring roads, An Garda Siochana and GoSafe had checked 24,922 vehicles and found 123 of them to be driving in excess of the speed limit in the area.
Breaches were detected in Cork, Galway, Kerry, Sligo, Louth, Offaly, Meath, Limerick and Dublin.
By the fifth hour, 47,116 vehicles had been checked, with the number of those speeding increasing to 277.
