A driver in Cavan has been arrested for a raft of offences.
Cavan Roads Policing were conducting speed checks on the N3 when they clocked a car driving at 173kph in a 100kph zone.
When stopped, the driver was discovered to be a learner with no one accompanying them. They were arrested for dangerous driving and their car seized. While in custody, the driver also refused to provide a sample of blood or urine to test for alcohol for drugs, which is a legal requirement. A fixed penalty notice was issued and the driver will now appear in court to face multiple charges.
