Court proceedings are to follow.
Members of the Garda Traffic Corps and the Road Safety Authority stopped a number of school buses in Clare today. Yesterday Gardaí at a checkpoint in Birr, Co Offaly stopped a lorry driver who wasn’t wearing his seatbelt.
“He was actually sitting on it to silence the alarm,” the Gardaí said.
A Fixed Charge Penalty Notice was issued as a result.
