Gardaí in Kilkenny stopped a truck overloaded by ten tonnes yesterday morning.
The driver of the four-axle Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) was also driving without a seat belt when they were stopped on a road in the Johnstown/Urlingford area of North Kilkenny.
During the same patrol, Gardaí came across a tractor which hadn't been taxed in nearly three years.
It was discovered the tractor was last taxed in 2021 following an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) alert.
