Motorcyclist drives through garda checkpoint on wrong side of the road

This is the moment a motorbike drives through a garda checkpoint on the wrong side of the road.

The clip is believed to be in Limerick and has gone viral on social media in recent days with hundreds of thousands of viewers.

In the video, of which we've taken numerous still pictures from, a biker can be seen heading towards a checkpoint manned by one garda car.

As the driver gets closer they switch onto the right hand side of the main road and powers straight passed the officer who is checking cars ahead.

The garda then appears to speak to his colleague after watching the motorist travel onwards before the clip ends. It's not clear if gardai pursued the vehicle afterwards.
