Laois Gardaí say a motorist who was driving erratically was found to have been disqualified 27 times.
“You’d think after 27 previous disqualifications, this driver would’ve gotten the message. Apparently not,” gardaí stated.
Laois Roads Policing Unit stopped the vehicle after it was observed driving erratically near Ballyfin.
They said they discovered a disqualified driver was behind the wheel who then tested positive for cocaine.
The man was arrested and is due to appear before Portlaoise District Court.
We’re not sure if they:
(A) Forgot they were banned.
(B) Thought we wouldn't notice.
(C) Were collecting disqualifications like Pokémon cards.
Either way — game over. Court date booked. Car seized. Career in motoring… still over,” Gardaí stated.
