Gardai have arrested a driver for breaking an unbelievable number of laws in Co Kildare.
The Naas Road Policing Unit were on patrol recently when they stopped the car, which was travelling at 137km/h in a 100km/h zone. The motorist was found to be breaching not just one or two rules, but five different rules.
The silver Mercedes was found to have false number plates on and no insurance. Gardai also discovered that vehicle was stolen, and the driver had two bench warrants.
