Gardaí on patrol this week busted an irresponsible driver for a myriad of offences.
While on the M4, Gardaí from Naas stopped a driver after they noticed they were on their phone.
Once pulled over, Gardaí quickly realised the motorist was an unaccompanied learner driver with no L plates displayed.

The car was seized and the driver now faces heading towards seven penalty points which will disqualify them from driving.
In a post on X, Gardaí said,
"Naas Gardaí pulled in this driver on the M4 after spotting him using the phone while driving. Went down hill from there: an unaccompanied learner with no L plates and driving on a motorway.
"It only takes seven points for a learner driver to be disqualified."
