A motorist has been arrested by Gardaí in Tipperary after violating a number of driving laws.
The driver of the silver BMW 5-Series (pictured) was stopped by the Tipperary Road Policing Unit in Nenagh last week.
Having been initially stopped for driving a vehicle without a valid tax certificate that had expired almost 962 days previously, it was then discovered that the motorist did not hold a valid driver's licence or car insurance.
Once the rogue motorist underwent a drugs test it was discovered that they were also driving while under the influence of cocaine and cannabis.
The motorist was then arrested with an appearance in court to follow.
Taking to the @gardatraffic Twitter account, Gardaí said: "Tipperary RPU intercepted this car in Nenagh and discovered the driver held neither a licence nor insurance.
"The motorist was then arrested on suspicion of drug driving, having failed a test for cocaine & cannabis. Vehicle seized & court appearance to follow."
