Gardai in Naas were shocked to discover a car travelling on the wrong side of the road with an extremely flat front tyre.
The vehicle was spotted doing 102 KM/H in a 60 Zone on Millenium Road in Naas. It also had a flat front tyre on the right-hand side.
When approached by Gardai, the car failed to stop at first. When the driver eventually stopped, they failed a breath test.

Gardai subsequently arrested the person for Drunk Driving, with proceedings to follow.
Photos shared by the Gardai of the incident show the black vehicle with an extremely thin tyre. Another image shows the car driving down the wrong side of the road.
The final photo shows a report from the specimen taken during the breath test. It read: “The concentration of alcohol in the breath for the purposes of that section is 70 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.”
A Tweet posted to An Garda Siochana’s Twitter account said: “Naas RPU detected a car travelling on the wrong side of Millenium Road at 102 KM/H in a 60 Zone with a flat front right tyre.
